Daniel Canniffe (22 November 1909 – 31 October 1978) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with St. Finbarr's and Garda, and also lined out at inter-county level with Dublin and Cork
Canniffe first played hurling at club level with St. Finbarr's in Cork. After moving to Dublin he joined the Garda club, however, he enjoyed little in the way of club success.
As a member of the Dublin senior hurling team, Canniffe won a Leinster SHC medal and lined out at centre-back in a defeat by Limerick in the 1934 All-Ireland final replay.[1] He later declared for the Cork senior hurling team and spent two seasons with the team.[2]
