Daniel Filipe Martins Carriço (born 4 August 1988) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Sevilla FC mainly as a central defender.

He spent most of his professional career with Sporting, appearing in 154 official games over the course of four-and-a-half seasons and scoring five goals. In 2013 he signed with Sevilla, winning the Europa League three times with the club.

All categories comprised, Carriço gained 70 caps for Portugal, including 16 for the under 21s (four goals). He made his senior international debut in 2015.

A product of Sporting Clube de Portugal's prolific youth ranks, Carriço was born in Cascais and made his professional debuts in 2007–08, splitting that season with S.C. Olhanense and Cyprus' AEL Limassol, in both cases on loan. Having returned to Sporting he made his Primeira Liga debut on 26 October 2008, replacing injured Tonel in a 0–0 away draw against F.C. Paços de Ferreira and securing a starting place even after the latter became available.

For 2010–11, after longtime incumbent João Moutinho's departure to Porto, Carriço was chosen as new club captain by newly appointed coach Paulo Sérgio. In the following campaign, under both Domingos Paciência and his successor Ricardo Sá Pinto, he was used almost exclusively as a defensive midfielder.
