Daniela Caracas González (born 25 April 1997) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Liga F club Espanyol and the Colombia national team.
Initially Caracas spent most of her club career playing in Colombia. In 2021, Caracas left Colombia to sign for Espanyol in Spain.[3]
In 2025, during a Liga F match between Espanyol and Barcelona, Caracas was harassed by Barcelona's Mapi Leon who was accused of touching her groin and asking Caracas "Do you have a dick?".[4] Despite Leon denying it, claiming she just brushed Caracas' leg,[5] the league banned Leon for two matches.[6]
