Daniel Goodfellow (born 19 October 1996) is a retired British diver, active in the elite sport since 2011, and in the senior ranks from 2013-2025. A close contemporary of Olympic and world champions Tom Daley and Jack Laugher, Goodfellow competed with both in senior synchronised and team events for Great Britain and England. With Daley, he won bronze in the 10 metre synchronised platform event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.
Goodfellow is a two-time Commonwealth Games champion, a World champion in the team event in 2024 and an Olympic bronze medalist in the synchronised event in 2016. He first represented Great Britain as a senior at the 2013 European Diving Championships in the 10 m platform event and the 2013 World Aquatics Championships in the same event. Goodfellow won a bronze medal in the Men's 10m Synchronised Platform event with his diving partner Tom Daley at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He has also won a gold with Daley in the same event at the Commonwealth Games, and a silver at the European Championships. In 2022 he won his first major title as a solo diver, winning gold in the men's 3 metre springboard at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. During his senior career, Goodfellow won medals in every major championship available to him; the Olympic and Commonwealth Games, the World and European Championships and the FINA World Series.
Goodfellow's career also coincided with a period of sustained success for Great Britain in the sport, and the growing depth in the men's events in his nation. Having narrowly failed to gain selection for a third Olympic Games in 2024, he retired from the sport in 2025.
