Danny (Dan) Thomas Roundfield (born May 26, 1953 in Detroit, Michigan) is a retired American professional basketball player. The 6'8" forward/center graduated from Chadsey Senior High School in 1971. On the collegiate scene, Roundfield was twice selected to the All-Mid-American Conference Team for Central Michigan University; he was also the 1975 M.A.C. Player of the Year.

Roundfield spent 11 seasons in the National Basketball Association, playing for the Indiana Pacers (1976–1978), Atlanta Hawks (1978–1984), Detroit Pistons (1984–1985), and Washington Bullets (1985–1987). Roundfield earned a reputation as a strong rebounder and tenacious defender, and during his career he was named to five NBA All-Defensive teams and three All-Star teams. His nickname was Dr. Rounds.

Dan Roundfield was selected to the NBA Eastern Conference All-Star team 3 years in a row from 1980-1982. He was not able to play in 1982 due to an injury which prompted being replaced by up and coming power forward Buck Williams of the New Jersey Nets. Roundfield certainly made the most of his 1980 All-Star appearance debut, he scored 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in just 27 minutes of play coming off the bench. Perennial All-Star Moses Malone, known for his blue collar style of play, was so impressed that he remarked that he wished the hard working Roundfield could be his teammate on an official basis. Roundfield came close to winning the MVP award for his fine performance being overshadowed by George (Iceman) Gervin's 34 point scoring. This was the big time performance that made Roundfield known to NBA fans outside of the city of Atlanta.

Roundfield currently lives in Atlanta, where he works for Camp Dresser & McKee Inc.
