Daniel John Ferguson Paton (3 December 1871 – 9 August 1957) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Aston Villa.[3] He made one appearance for Scotland in 1896[1] while playing club football for St Bernard's in Edinburgh, where he also won the Scottish Cup a year earlier. He began and ended his career at Vale of Leven and also featured for Clyde.[4]

Some publications assert that Robert Paton, also an international from the same neighbourhood, was his brother,[5] but this is incorrect; however his actual elder brothers were footballers: Alex had several seasons with Bolton Wanderers, and also played for Vale of Leven and Aston Villa.[2][6][7]
