Daniel Buckley (born 1957)[citation needed] is an Irish former hurler who played at club level with Blackrock and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team. He usually lined out as a forward.
Buckley first came to prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the Blackrock club. After being a part of the inaugural Féile na nGael-winning team in 1971, he later enjoyed club championship successes at minor and under-21 levels. As a member of the Blackrock senior team, he won an All-Ireland Club Championship medal in 1979. At inter-county level, Buckley first appeared on the Cork team that won the All-Ireland Minor Championship title in 1974, before later winning an All-Ireland Under-21 Championship title in that grade in 1976. He was drafted onto the Cork senior hurling team in 1979 and won a Munster Championship title as a substitute that year. Buckley was also part of Cork's National Hurling League success in 1980 before later being released from the panel.
