Daniel Márcio Fernandes (born 25 September 1983) is a Portuguese Canadian professional footballer who plays for Norwegian club Lillestrøm SK as a goalkeeper.

The son of a Portuguese father and a Czechoslovakian mother, Fernandes was born in Edmonton, Alberta, being raised in East Vancouver, British Columbia. His first club was the Vancouver Olympics.

In 2000, aged 17, Fernandes returned to the land of his father and joined FC Porto's youth system. In his first two years as a senior he only managed to appear for the reserves, his second club being Celta de Vigo B in Spain.

In January 2003, the Galicians loaned Fernandes to Regionalliga Süd side SSV Jahn Regensburg, but again failed to appear officially for the main squad, returning in June to Celta and being released from contract.

After a successful trial, Fernandes signed with Greek club PAOK FC, playing in just four top division games in his first two seasons combined. In 2005, the team's general manager – and former player – Giorgos Kostikos took over the team's fortunes, after coach Nikos Karageorgiou was sacked following a bad string of results. He immediately replaced ageing Kyriakos Tohouroglou in his starting XI with the Portuguese.
