Daniel Xuereb (born June 22, 1959 in Gardanne, Bouches-du-Rhônes) is a former football striker from France, who earned eight international caps (one goal) for the French national team during the 1980s. A player of RC Lens (1981–1986), he was a member of the French team in the 1986 FIFA World Cup, after having won the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California, scoring in the Gold Medal game itself.
