Daniel Anthony Padilla is an American internet personality, filmmaker, and actor. With Ian Hecox, he co-founded the YouTube-based video production company Smosh. Padilla and Hecox wrote, directed, and starred in sketch comedy videos from 2005 to 2017; after six years, Padilla returned to the company in 2023.

Daniel Anthony Padilla was born on September 16, 1987, in Sacramento, California and is from Carmichael, California. His father is of Filipino and Spanish descent and his mother is German. His parents separated when he was two, and he was raised mostly by his mother alongside his two younger half-brothers. As his mother has severe agoraphobia, she was unable to work or even leave the family home, resulting in the family surviving off food stamps; Padilla took on a great deal of responsibility from an early age, especially after his grandmother, who was the primary caretaker of the family, died. He graduated from Del Campo High School and attended American River College for two years before dropping out due to Smosh's success.
