Daniel "Dan" Hollander (born May 9, 1972) is an American figure skater. He is a two-time Vienna Cup champion (1995, 1997) and a two-time U.S. national bronze medalist (1996, 1997). He finished tenth at the 1996 World Championships in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
In the 1996–97 season, Hollander trained under Diana Ronayne in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. In 1999, he sustained a number of injuries that forced him to turn professional. He became known for his comedic skating programs. Hollander announced his retirement from competition by executing a backflip, which was an illegal element in figure skating at that time. The ban has since been lifted.
Hollander coaches figure skating in Maryland. On October 17, 2015, he married a skating coach, Emily Chase, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Their daughter, Arianna Alina, was born on May 13, 2016.
