Dannielle Khan (born 1 September 1995) is an English racing cyclist from Solihull, West Midlands, England, who currently rides for the GB women's endurance podium team.[2] She won the sprint and 500m TT events at the Juniors world championships in 2013, as well as the silver medal in the Keirin.

Khan started her sporting life as a short track speed skater, and was encouraged to try cycling as part off her off season conditioning. She quickly found success on the velodrome and became a member of British Cycling's Olympic Development Programme in 2012.[2]

In August 2013, at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, Khan represented Britain at the UCI Juniors Track World Championships.[3] She was featured in the documentary "Bicycle" with her family.[4]

In January 2016 Khan was announced as a member of Team Breeze, British Cycling's women's development squad.[5]

October 2016 Khan traveled to Paris to race in her first U23 European Track Championships where her and the other team pursuit girls got a bronze medal.

Danni has a little sister (Daisy Khan), an up-and-coming cyclist who is hoping to follow in her sisters footsteps.
