Daniel Fitzgibbon, (born 15 June 1976) is an Australian Paralympic sailor, who won a silver medal at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing.
Daniel Gerard Fitzgibbon was born in the Brisbane suburb of Manly on 15 June 1976.
Having sailed since the age of five, he joined the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron in 1990.
On 29 March 1997, an incident occurred at the Middle Harbour Yacht Club jetty in which he broke his neck, leaving him a quadraplegic.
He sued the Waterways Authority for negligence at the New South Wales Supreme Court.
Fitzgibbon, who claimed that he was pushed into the water, stated that it was their failure to include a handrail in the design of the jetty that caused him to fall off.
They stated that he dived in because he thought a friend was drowning, and thus was responsible for the accident.

The two teamed up again in the 2008 Beijing Paralympics in the SKUD 18 class and won the silver medal.
The class, which premiered at the 2008 games, was created when Fitzgibbon convinced the International Foundation for Disabled Sailing to adapt the class to allow two sailors with disabilities to participate.
They were again jointly named the Sailors of the Year with a Disability.
After seeing Liesl Tesch in an SBS documentary about the boat Sailors with Disabilities competing in the 2009 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Fitzgibbon contacted her in late 2010 and they formed a sailing partnership.

You never stop learning and enjoying the sport and we ended up winning a gold medal and since London we are undefeated, we won the world championships last time and we are trying to win this one and we've won every world cup event we've been in. The competition gets harder and harder, though that's the thing – we've just got to keep improving."
In November 2015, Fitzgibbon and Tesch were awarded Yachting Australia's 2015 Sailor of the Year with a Disability.
