Dan Eaves is a British auto racing driver, born on 3 June 1975. He started racing karts in 1990 before switching to cars in 1994. He raced in the National Saloon Cup in 1999 and 2000, finishing 4th in the series both times. In 2000 the BTCC ran a Class B for these cars, and Eaves entered 2 rounds in his Peugeot. This was enough to earn him a drive with Vic Lee's factory Peugeot team for the 2001 BTCC, in a 406.

This was a transitional year for the championship, and Eaves finished 5th out of a fairly thin field, although he beat veteran team-mate Steve Soper. For 2002 Peugeot pulled out but the team remained, with Halfords backing and now with Independent status. Eaves won Indy honours ahead of former Superbike racer Aaron Slight, and team-mate Tim Harvey. For 2003 his team-mate was Carl Breeze, this time in a VLR-built 307, and after a slow start he was Independent class winner several times. The team pulled out before 2004, but Dan found a drive with Team Dynamics in a Honda. He was 8th in the standings that year, taking his first ever championship win.
