Daniel Tanveer Batth (born 21 September 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for EFL Championship club Blackburn Rovers.
Batth began his career with his local side Wolverhampton Wanderers, joining their youth academy as a teenager. In order to gain first-team experience he spent time out on loan at Colchester United, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday (twice). He broke into Wolves' first team in the 2012–13 season, and was made captain by Kenny Jackett for the 2013–14 season as Wolves won the League One title, with Batth being named in the PFA Team of the Year.
Batth remained a key member of the Wolves team as the play-offs were narrowly missed in 2014–15 before promotion to the Premier League was gained in 2017–18. After being omitted from Nuno Espírito Santo's Premier League squad, Batth joined Middlesbrough on loan in August 2018. He moved to Stoke City in January 2019 for a fee of £3 million. He spent three years at Stoke, making 107 appearances, before joining Sunderland in January 2022.
