Dany Dauberson (16 January 1925 – 16 March 1979) was a French singer and actress.

Dauberson was born in Le Creusot, Saône-et-Loire, France. On 24 May 1956, at the first Eurovision Song Contest, held at the Teatro Kursaal in Lugano, each participating country had two entrants due to the format of the competition's first year. Dany Dauberson, one of the French entrants, performed the song "Il est là" ("He's Here") while Mathé Altéry, the other French entrant, sang "Le Temps Perdu" ("Lost Time"). Dany Dauberson's score and placing remain undisclosed to this day as only the winner was announced.

In April 1967, while driving towards Duranville, Eure, on the N13, she skidded off the road and crashed into a tree. Dauberson was thrown out of her seat and through the windscreen while in the passenger's seat her companion, actress Nicole Berger, suffered both a fractured skull and a crushed rib cage. Dauberson and Berger were rushed to hospital, where Berger died from her injuries. Dauberson never fully recovered emotionally or physically from the crash, which ended her career as a singer. She died in 1979, at the age of 54.

She was buried in the town of Saint-Claude in the Jura department, where she had spent part of her youth.
