Danny Hart (born 20 September 1991, Redcar, England) is an English downhill mountain biker who currently rides for Madison Saracen. He won the 2011 and 2016 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships.
Hart was educated at Rye Hills School in Redcar. He had received financial support from Redcar and Cleveland Young People's Trust as a junior rider. In October 2011, after winning the World Championships, Hart and former Olympic triple-jumper Jonathan Edwards and world paratriathlete Charlotte Ellis helped launch a £31m project to build a leisure centre in Redcar.
Hart won the 2007 youth national championship at Rheola, Wales in conditions he described as 'really terrible'. In 2008, when 16, he began competing the elite class internationally, with a best DH World Cup result of 22nd at Vallnord, Andorra in June. In 2009 he won the Maxxis Cup in Vigo, Spain, and came second in the junior national championship at Innerleithen, Scotland, third at the junior world championship in Canberra, Australia and 20th in the Elite class at the Fort William, Scotland round of the World Cup in June of that year.
