Geoff Daniela (born 28 February 1987 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a rugby league player who currently plays for the Illawarra Cutters in the NSW Cup. Daniela is a Cook Islands international.
Daniela primarily plays in the centres and he can also play on the wing.

Daniela is of Niuean and Cook Islands descent and attended school at Hebersham Primary School and Plumpton High School, St Dominics College, Kingswood. He played junior football with Western City Tigers (Mt Druitt), Blacktown Workers, St Mary's Saints and represented New South Wales at an under-17s and under-19s level.

Daniela made his NRL debut with the Panthers in round 11, 2007, against the Wests Tigers at CUA Stadium. In his three seasons with the Panthers he scored 13 tries from just 20 appearances.

Joining the Wests Tigers from 2010, Daniela made 13 appearances in the first season at his new club, either playing at centre or starting from the bench. He scored a hat-trick in a game against the New Zealand Warriors, and played in one semi-final. In 2011, a torn pectoral muscle suffered in round 5 saw him take no further part in the season.

Returning to the Panthers in 2012, Daniela played his first game in the 30-0 loss to previous club Wests Tigers. He made 8 appearances in the centres for the season, for only 2 wins. In 2013, Daniela played at centre for the first two weeks of the season, but they were to be his only games in first grade for the year.

Daniela was selected for the Cook Islands in the 2009 Pacific Cup, but did not feature in the tournament. He represented Cook Islands in 2012, scoring a try against Lebanon.
