Daniel Dean Hughes (born April 14, 1955) is an American former basketball coach. He last coached Seattle Storm of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) from 2018 until his retirement in 2021. He has guided stars such as Sue Bird, Natasha Howard, Mercedes Russell, and Jordin Canada.

Hughes coached the Silver Stars from 2005 to 2009, and rejoined the team in 2011. Prior to the 2013 season, Hughes signed a multiyear contract extension. He has coached the most victories in franchise history. On April 19, 2016, the Stars announced that Hughes would step down as general manager and head coach following the 2016 season.

Hughes was hired by the Seattle Storm in 2018 and led them to their third WNBA championship in his first season. He was unable to join the team for the 2020 season due to having a high risk of COVID-19 infection after a previous tumor removal. Hughes returned to the team for the 2021 season.
