Dan Mihai Bratianu (April 16, 1908 - January 14, 1991) was a Romanian hockey player who was a member of the Romanian National Team at the World Championships in 1931, 1934, and 1935 (appearing in nine games total).

He was a key figure during the early years of Romanian hockey. Bratianu played in Bucharest for Tenis Club Roman Bucharest, Hockey Club Roman Bucharest, and Telefon Club Bucharest.

Bratianu was part of a wealthy family that was heavily involved in politics. His grandfather, Ion Bratianu, was the Prime Minister of Romania from 1876-1888, while his father, Dinu, led the National Liberal Party. Vintila Bratianu, Dan's uncle, served as Prime Minister from 1927-28.

After the communist takeover of Romania, Bratianu was arrested and incarcerated for 15 years. He eventually moved to Switzerland, where he died in 1991.
