Daley Blind (born 9 March 1990) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder, left-back or centre-back for La Liga club Girona and the Netherlands national team. He is the son of former Ajax defender and former Netherlands national team manager Danny Blind.

Blind rose through the youth ranks at Ajax, becoming a regular after a loan to Groningen, and won four consecutive Eredivisie titles with the club. In September 2014, he transferred to Manchester United for £13.8 million, where he was part of the team that won four trophies including the FA Cup, EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League. In the summer of 2018, Blind returned to Ajax, where he won his fifth Eredivisie title and first-ever KNVB Cup in his first season back at the club.

A full international since 2013, Blind has earned over 90 caps and was a member of the Dutch squad that finished third at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He has since featured at UEFA Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.
