Daniel Batman (20 March 1981 – 26 June 2012) was an Australian sprinter. He was the Australian national men's 200-metres champion in 2005 and 2008. He competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics and his best international achievement was a sixth place at the 2003 World Indoor Championships.

Batman was born in Melbourne, Victoria. He attended The Scots College and Cranbrook School. He claimed to be a direct descendant of John Batman, the founder of Melbourne[1][dubious – discuss] but John Batman's only son, John Charles Batman, died aged just 8 years old, reportedly by drowning in the Yarra River, but rumoured to have died of syphilis which his father carried.

On 26 June 2012, Batman was killed in a car crash at Marrakai, southeast of Darwin, Northern Territory. He was 31.[3][4][5]
