Daniel Jonathan Grewcock MBE (born 7 November 1972) is a retired English rugby union rugby lock who played for Bath, England and the British and Irish Lions. He also spent time at Coventry and Saracens.

Grewcock was born in Coventry and attended Templars Primary School in Tile Hill then the secondary in Eastern Green Woodlands School, Coventry, during his secondary education (September 1984 to July 1989). His career started with Barkers Butts and Coventry and playing for the Warwickshire U21 side at age 19.

He is a graduate of Manchester Metropolitan University.

In 1996–97 he moved into the professional ranks with Coventry. It would be Coventry's most successful period of the modern era, coming within touching distance of the Premiership. Along the way, with Grewcock an ever-present, they beat a Newcastle Falcons side featuring 15 internationals by 19-18 at Coundon Road. They would eventually finish third to the well- funded Newcastle and champions Richmond but lost a promotion play-off against London Irish despite taking a narrow first leg advantage to Sunbury. Despite their second- tier status, both Grewcock and team mate Rob Hardwick were capped by England in this era.

That first cap for England came in the 1997 tour to Argentina, scoring his first international try in the test in Buenos Aires. He was sent off during England's 1998 trip to New Zealand. He joined Saracens later that summer but switched to Bath for the 2001–02 season.
