Staff Sergeant Francisco Daniel “Danny” Roxo (1933–1976) was a Portuguese soldier from Mozambique. Born in Portugal, he moved to Portuguese East Africa as a civil servant, before working as a big game hunter in the Niassa Province. During his military career, Roxo distinguished himself in several counter-guerrilla actions against FRELIMO insurgents and was decorated for his valour.

Disillusioned by Portugal’s promise to hand Mozambique to Samora Machel’s incoming government, Roxo supported an abortive coup d’état by anti-FRELIMO forces in Lourenço Marques on September 7, 1974. He went into exile in South Africa the following November, joining the South African Defence Force. After completing Special Forces selection, Danny was seconded to Bravo Group (later 32 Battalion)

Roxo was awarded the Honoris Crux for bravery during Operation Savannah for an action during the Battle of Bridge 14, an engagement during which he single-handedly killed eleven enemy soldiers
