Daniel Peter De Silva (born 6 March 1997) is an Australian football player who plays as an attacking midfielder who last played for Roda JC Kerkrade in the Eredivisie.
Born in Perth, De Silva commenced his professional career for Perth Glory in the A-League before joining Roda JC in 2015.
De Silva has played for Australia numerous times at youth level, and has been called up for the Australian senior team, but is yet to make his debut.
On 22 February 2013, Daniel De Silva signed professional youth contract for Perth Glory. De Silva chose to sign for Perth after a deal with English Premier League side Everton fell through due to complications obtaining a visa. On 2 March 2013, De Silva made his professional debut for Perth Glory aged 15, in the 2–1 home victory against Sydney FC. De Silva came on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Matías Córdoba, making him the second youngest player in A-league history. On 29 October 2014, he scored his first senior goal in the FFA Cup Quarter Final against Melbourne Victory in the first period of extra time.
On 13 June 2014, Serie A side Roma announced that De Silva would join them at the conclusion of the 2014–15 A-League season for an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be A$2.5m. The transfer was cancelled in August 2015 after Perth Glory did not receive the first installment of the agreed transfer fee.
On 26 August, Perth Glory announced that De Silva had joined Roda JC on a two-year loan deal.
In January 2017, De Silva's loan was cut short six months early.
De Silva scored his first goal for the Australia U20's in a man of the match performance against Colombia during the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in a 1–1 draw.
