Danielle Rowe (née King; born 21 November 1990) is a British former road and track cyclist. As a track cyclist, she is an Olympic gold medallist, three-time world champion, and two-time European champion in the team pursuit. She is a member of the British Cycling Hall of Fame.

Rowe became a member of Great Britain's team pursuit squad in 2010, and she became a world champion in 2011. Later that year, she became a European champion in the same event. Riding with Laura Kenny and Joanna Rowsell, Rowe helped Great Britain defend their world title in 2012 and win the team pursuit gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics; the trio also broke the team pursuit world record at the Olympics. In 2013, Rowe won a third world title and a second European title in the team pursuit. She missed the 2014 World Championships through injury, and then turned her focus towards road cycling. She missed out on selection for the road race at the 2016 Summer Olympics, but won a bronze medal for Wales in the road race at the 2018 Commonwealth Games having previously represented England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. She retired from cycling in December 2018.
