Daniel John Higginbotham (born 29 December 1978) is a former professional footballer who played as a defender. Born in England, he represented Gibraltar in international football.
Higginbotham started his career in the Manchester United academy. After making his senior debut for the club, he was sent out on loan to Belgian side Royal Antwerp. After his return the following season, he could not claim a regular first-team place and joined Derby County in search of more playing time in 2000. He spent three years at Derby but made a transfer request when the club was relegated from the Premier League. Southampton signed Higginbotham for a £1.5 million fee in February 2003, and he helped them reach the 2003 FA Cup Final. When Southampton were relegated in 2005, Higginbotham rejected a new contract and was placed on the transfer list.
