Daniel "Dani" Fernández Melián (born 28 January 2008) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for CD Tenerife.
Born in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Fernández was a CD Tenerife youth graduate. In April 2024, he agreed to a professional contract with the club, after spending a period separated from the Cadete squad prior to the renewal. [1]
Before even having appeared with the reserves, Fernández began training with the main squad in May 2024. [2] After being an unused substitute in a 1–1 away draw against Burgos CF, he made his senior – and professional – debut on 2 June, replacing Enric Gallego in a 2–1 Segunda División home win over Real Valladolid; [3] aged 16 years and 128 days, he became the second-youngest to debut with the club, only behind Víctor Correa in 1984.

On 18 October 2023, Fernández was called up to the Spain national under-16 team for two friendlies against Romania. [5]
