Dan Hayden, known as Danny Hayden, is an American college baseball coach, serving until May 2023 as head coach of the Miami RedHawks baseball program for 10 seasons. He was named to that position prior to the 2014 season.[1][2][3][4] Miami announced that it had parted ways with Hayden in May 2023. His record in 10 seasons was 241-274.[5]

Hayden played baseball at Miami for one season before transferring to Xavier when coaching staffs changed. After his college career, he served as director of baseball operations and volunteer assistant coach at Miami for one season each before earning a full-time assistant position at Xavier in 2011. In July 2013, he was named head coach of the RedHawks.[1] His family has made significant financial contributions to the Miami athletic department. The RedHawks' home field, Hayden Park, is named for Dan's grandfather, Joseph P. Hayden. And the baseball office and practice facility, the Jay Hayden Baseball Center, is named for Dan's father.[3][6]
