Daniel Raymond Quisenberry (/ˈkwɪzənbɛri/; February 7, 1953 – September 30, 1998), nicknamed "Quiz", was an American right-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played primarily for the Kansas City Royals. Notable for his submarine-style pitching delivery and his humorous quotes, he led the American League (AL) in saves a record five times (1980, 1982–85). In each season he led the league in saves, Quisenberry finished in the top five of the AL Cy Young Award voting, including runner-up finishes in 1983 and 1984 to LaMarr Hoyt and Willie Hernández, respectively. He retired in 1990 with 244 saves, the fifth-highest total in major league history at the time.

In addition to playing for the Royals, Quisenberry spent parts of two seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals and his final season with the San Francisco Giants.
