Daniel ("Dan") James Immerfall (born December 14, 1955) is a former speed skater from the United States who specialised in the 500 m.

Dan Immerfall was born in Madison, Wisconsin and started competing locally at a very young age. When he was 20, Immerfall won bronze at the 1976 Winter Olympics of Innsbruck on the 500 m. One month later, he won silver at the World Sprint Championships behind Swedish skater Johan Granath, despite that fact that Granath did not win on any of the four distances, while Immerfall won both 500 m races. Immerfall was inducted in the National Speedskating Hall of Fame in 1987.
