Daniel Jarque González (1 January 1983 – 8 August 2009) was a Spanish footballer who played as a central defender.
He played his entire career with Espanyol, and was named team captain one month before his death from a heart attack, at the age of 26.
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, and a product of local RCD Espanyol's youth system, Jarque made his La Liga debut with his hometown club on 20 October 2002, in a match against Recreativo de Huelva during 2002–03. After 15 appearances in two seasons combined, he went on to become a defensive mainstay for a team that won the 2006 edition of the Copa del Rey; on 18 September 2005, he scored the game's only goal to help the hosts defeat Real Madrid.
In 2006–07, after renewing his contract until 2009, Jarque appeared in 14 UEFA Cup games as Espanyol reached the final, lost on penalties to Sevilla FC. In the previous league campaign, he contributed with four league goals as the Pericos finished 15th.
At the start of 2009–10, Jarque relieved Raúl Tamudo of his captain duties.
