Daniel Plaza Montero (born July 3, 1966 in Barcelona, Catalonia) is a Spanish former race walker.

Plaza tested positive for the steroid nandrolone after the 1996 Spanish championships but denied taking it. He claimed the test result was due to prolonged oral sex with his pregnant wife (pregnant women may produce the steriod).

It took ten years, but in July 2006 he won a case to clear his name of a drugs ban. Spain's Supreme Court found in his favor after he took legal action over a two-year ban imposed by the Spanish Committee for Sporting Discipline.

He tested negative in further tests for the drug which normally takes three months to disappear from the system.
