Anthony Daniher (born 21 December 1963) is a former Australian rules footballer. He was one of the four Daniher brothers to play VFL football. He was originally recruited by South Melbourne as a wingman but soon developed into a champion full back. Daniher continued to play for the Swans when they controversially re-located to Sydney in 1982 and all told he played a total of 115 games for the club over the course of 6 seasons. In 1987 he joined brothers Chris and Terry at Essendon and over the next few years he played probably the best football of his career culminating in selection in the inaugural AFL All Australian team in 1991. An excellent mark and a booming kick - often utilising the by this stage somewhat unfashionable torpedo punt - Anthony was the tallest (at 191cm) and heaviest (90kg) of the Danihers; along with Terry he achieved membership of the League's '200 Club', and together with all 3 of his League football playing brothers he represented New South Wales in state of origin football.

Anthony has a son, Darcy, who was taken under the father-son rule by Essendon in 2007.
