Daniel Alessandro Alessi (born 26 August 1997) is an Australian football (soccer) player who plays as a defender for the Newcastle Jets in the A-League.
Alessi joined the Western Sydney Wanderers on 13 October 2013 on a Youth League contract for the 2013–14 season. Alessi played his debut game in the senior team in the second Sydney derby of the season on 11 January 2014. He impressed the coach Tony Popovic and was selected for the round's team of the week. In May 2014 Alessi signed a professional contract, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2015–16 season.
Shortly after being released by the Western Sydney Wanderers, Alessi signed with the Newcastle Jets. A month and a half after joining Newcastle Jets, he was ruled out for the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in training.
