Daniel Miceli (born September 9, 1970 in Newark, NJ) is former major league baseball relief pitcher. Dan was signed by the Kansas City Royals as an amateur free agent in 1990, but never saw time at the major league level for Kansas City. Instead, he was dealt to the Pittsburgh Pirates (July 31, 1993) with pitcher Jon Lieber in exchange for pitcher Stan Belinda. He made his major league debut on his birthday, September 9, 1993.

From 1997 through 2005, the well-traveled Miceli's services were sought from contenders and non-contenders alike, as teams attempted to fill vacancies in their bullpen. He made stops in Detroit, San Diego, Florida, Texas, Cleveland, New York (AL), Colorado (three times), Houston and even an overseas stay in Japan as member of the Yomiuri Giants. Dan pitched in the 1998 World Series for San Diego against the Yankees, allowing no runs in 1.2 IP.

On July 29, 2003, Miceli became part of the Astros relief corps. In 2004, He went 6-6 with a respectable 3.59 ERA, and made career highs in games (74) and strikeouts (83). He also made his second postseason trip that season, coming within a game of another World Series berth.

On January 12, 2006, after returning from Japan, the journeyman signed on with his tenth team, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, agreeing to a two-year deal.

Overall, Dan had a fourteen year MLB career in which his services were in demand.
