Denis St George Daly (5 September 1862 to 16 April 1942) was an Irish polo player who competed in the 1900 Summer Olympics and won the gold medal as part of the Foxhunters Hurlingham team. He was the son of the second Baron Dunsandle and Clanconal and Mary Broderick, but because his parents were unmarried at the time of his birth he could not inherit the title. He reached the rank of Major in the 18th Hussars, was Deputy Lieutenant for County Galway and Justice of the Peace for Oxfordshire, and from 1925 to 1934 was Joint Master of the Heythrop Hunt. He lived at Dunsandle, Athenry, County Galway, and at Over Norton Park, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
