Daniel Michael O'Shaughnessy (born 14 September 1994) is a Finnish professional footballer who currently plays for Cheltenham Town as a defender. He began his career in the youth systems at Honka, HJK and Metz and has represented Finland at international level.

A central defender, O'Shaughnessy began his career in Finland alongside his brother Patrick at Honka and was part of the youth team which made an impressive showing at the 2008 Nike Premier Cup. Both brothers joined Veikkausliiga side HJK in early 2009. O'Shaughnessy broke into the club's reserve team the following year, making 23 appearances and scoring two goals during the 2011 Kakkonen season, missing out on promotion to the Ykkönen after a playoff semi-final defeat to BK-46. After trials at Premier League sides Liverpool, Manchester United, Sunderland and Scottish Premier League side Celtic, O'Shaughnessy moved to French Ligue 2 side Metz on a two-and-a-half-year deal in early January 2012. He made 40 appearances and scored one goal for the club's reserve team, helping the side to the 2013–14 Championnat de France amateur 2 Group C title. O'Shaughnessy departed Metz at the end of the 2013–14 season, having failed to receive a call into the first team squad.
