Daniel Allen Wilson (born March 25, 1969) is an American former professional baseball player and current manager of the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played in MLB as a catcher from 1992 through 2005. Wilson began his career with the Cincinnati Reds before being traded in late 1993 to the Mariners where he played for 12 of his 14 Major League seasons. He was considered one the best defensive catchers of his era, retiring with the highest fielding percentage by a catcher in American League history. In 2012, Wilson was inducted into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame alongside his battery-mate, Randy Johnson.

Wilson became the Mariners' manager after the team fired Scott Servais on August 22, 2024. Wilson led the team to a division title in his first full season as manager.

Wilson led his Barrington, Illinois Little League team to a third-place finish in the 1981 Little League World Series. At Barrington High School, he starred as a pitcher, with a 27–1 win–loss record his final two seasons, and catcher. He was selected in the 26th round of the 1987 MLB draft by the New York Mets. Wilson did not sign, electing to play college baseball.

At the University of Minnesota, Wilson pitched in an NCAA Tournament Regional game his first year in 1988, also batting .347 for the season. That summer, he played summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League. After that summer, he gave up pitching, since he preferred playing catcher and playing every day. In 1989, he was named to the second-team All-Big Ten Conference team with Minnesota, then played for the U.S. Collegiate National Team in the summer, batting .325 in 30 games. In his junior season, Wilson batted .370 and was a first-team All-American. Following his playing career, Wilson was inducted into the Golden Gophers' Hall of Fame in 2008.

Wilson was selected in the first round of the 1990 MLB draft, seventh overall, by the Cincinnati Reds. He signed in time to play 32 games with the Charleston Wheelers of the South Atlantic League. He returned to Charleston to open the 1991 season, batting .315 in 52 games before earning a promotion to Double-A Chattanooga. He started the 1992 season with Nashville in the Triple-A American Association, batting .251 in 106 games there before earning a promotion to the major leagues at age 23 on September 7. Two days later, he hit a single off Tom Glavine for his first MLB hit.

Wilson made the Reds' Opening Day roster in 1993, backing up Joe Oliver. He returned to Triple-A with the new Reds A affiliate, the Indianapolis Indians in July. In parts of two seasons with Cincinnati, he batted .257 with 11 RBI in 48 games.

Following the 1993 season, the Reds traded Wilson and pitcher Bobby Ayala to the Seattle Mariners for second baseman Bret Boone and pitcher Erik Hanson. The Mariners made the trade to dump Hanson's salary and add two prospects. Wilson made the Mariners' roster out of spring training in 1994 and became an established major-league player, replacing Dave Valle as the M's primary catcher. In his first game, he picked off a stumbling Manny Ramirez at second base. In his rookie season, Wilson struggled at the plate, batting .216, but he showed signs of his defensive ability with a .986 fielding percentage. That was the lowest fielding percentage he would have as the Mariners' primary catcher. The 1995 season went better for him; he played 119 games, batting .278 and raising his fielding percentage to .995, as the Mariners won the American League (AL) West division for the first time in franchise history. In his first postseason, Wilson batted 2-for-33, going hitless in six AL Championship Series games.

Wilson hit three home runs on April 11, 1996 in Detroit. That July, he made his only All-Star Game. In the 1996 season, Wilson set career highs with 146 games played, 18 home runs, 83 runs batted in, and a .774 on-base plus slugging. He was also featured in the team's television commercials.
