Daniel Francis (born 27 September 2003) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Austrian Regionalliga West club Wacker Innsbruck.
Having played football in his native Nigeria with Hearts of Abuja, Francis took the opportunity to train at Bayern Munich's facilities in July and August 2021, after he was selected as one of the FC Bayern World Squad members. He had already had contact with the German side after playing at the Bayern Youth Cup in 2019, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria, he was unable to sign at the time.
Following an impressive showing with the World Squad, in which he was named captain, he signed a three-year contract in August 2022. In signing for Bayern Munich, he became the Bavarian club's first ever Nigerian player. Immediately after signing, he was assigned for Bayern Munich II, the club's reserve team, and was subsequently loaned to affiliate club Austria Klagenfurt of the Austria Bundesliga, but only featured with their reserve team on the Kärntner Liga.
Francis has represented Nigeria at under-17 level.
