Daniel Jacob "Danny" Woodhead (born January 25, 1985) is an American football running back for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2008. He has also played for the New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers. He played college football at Chadron State.

Woodhead set several NCAA college football rushing records, including the single season rushing and all-time rushing records. In 2006 and 2007, he won the Harlon Hill Trophy, awarded to the best player in NCAA Division II, making him the third player to win the trophy twice in its history (the other players are Johnny Bailey and Dusty Bonner). On October 6, 2007, Woodhead became the NCAA all-time, all-division leading rusher. Woodhead held this record until it was broken by Mount Union running back Nate Kmic on December 13, 2008.

Woodhead played football at North Platte High School in North Platte, Nebraska, and broke many records. North Platte reached the state finals in 2001, with Woodhead's help after beating Millard North High School team 24–21. Woodhead blocked a field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter to give North Platte possession with only minutes left. North Platte's Ben Woodhead, Woodhead's older brother, threw a pass down field to set up a game winning field goal by Jake McCarthy. However, North Platte went on to lose the state championship 28–14 to Millard West High School.
