Daniela Silivaș is a gymnast who has competed for Romania. She competed at the 1988 Summer Olympic Games.
Silivas was highly regarded as the most successful female gymnast at Seoul 1988 and fourth overall in Olympic history, winning a total of six medals (three gold, two silver, and a bronze) in a single edition. She helped the Romanians secure a runner-up spot in the team all-around and finished second behind the Soviet favorite Elena Chouchounova in the individual all-around tournament by a 0.025-point margin. Silivas returned to the apparatus finals to claim three golds in the uneven bars, floor exercise, and balance beam and added a bronze on the vault behind Svetlana Boguinskaia and her teammate Gabriela Potorac.
Shortly after her Olympic stint, Silivas' training was blighted by a knee injury and the closure of the Deva National Training Center during the Romanian Revolution, abruptly ending her gymnastics career. She officially retired from the sport in 1991 and moved to the United States, working full-time as a gymnastics coach in Atlanta.
