Daniel Borimirov (Bulgarian: Даниел Боримиров) (born January 15, 1970 in Vidin) is a Bulgarian football player who, as of 2007, is playing for Levski Sofia.

Borimirov returned to Levski in 2003; he started his career there in 1990, but spent 1995-2003 at 1860 Munich. For Bulgaria, Borimirov was capped 67 times, scoring 5 goals. He was part of Bulgaria's surprising fourth-place run at the 1994 World Cup, and also played in the 1998 edition, as well as Euro 96 and Euro 2004. He scored a goal at the 1994 World Cup group stage game against Greece for Bulgaria's first ever win at a World Cup, and he scored in the penalty shoot-out in the round of 16 against Mexico.

Borimirov was the driving force behind the success of Levski Sofia in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup. He led the squad to the quarter finals and scored vital goals against Italian side Udinese and Germany's Schalke 04.

In an interview on August 16, 2006, Borimirov stated that he is currently attending coaching classes and he intends to work in the field of football after he retires as a player[1].

On July 1, 2007, Borimirov played for a FIFA All-Star team against Hong-Kong in an exhibition game as part of Hong-Kong's Independence 10 year anniversary celebrations. The FIFA All-Star team was coached by Gerrard Houllier and featured famous players including Hidetoshi Nakata, Stéphane Chapuisat, Christian Karembeu, George Weah, Atirson, Brian McBride, and others. Borimirov played for 84 minutes.
