Danny Orr (born 17 May 1978 in Castleford, West Yorkshire), is an English rugby league coach and former player. He is currently assistant coach of Castleford Tigers. A Great Britain international representative stand-off or scrum half, Orr played in Super League for Castleford Tigers, Harlequins RL and Wigan.
Danny Orr played much of his rugby career for Castleford Tigers, making it into the 2002 Super League Dream Team, before leaving in 2003 to join Wigan Warriors. During this period, he gained many representative honours. In 1997, he was a member of the Great Britain Academy side coached by Mike Gregory, an acquaintance he was to re-establish after joining Wigan. He has gained senior representative experience as well, captaining Yorkshire to victory in the 2003 Origin match. He has played for England and also for Great Britain in the 2002 series against New Zealand.
Danny decided to leave Castleford Tigers at the end of the 2003 Super League season, signing a 4-year deal with Wigan. His last game for the club was against Wigan in the final league match of the 2003 season. He said that the decision was "exceptionally difficult" but added: "I wish to make a totally clean break from Castleford and move with my family to the most famous and successful rugby league club in the world."
Wigan coach of the time Stuart Raper commented: "Danny is a very good all round player who will be an asset to any side and I am pleased that he has chosen Wigan. He will blend very well into our line-up."
