Daniel Bautista Rocha (born August 4, 1952) is a former Mexican track and field athlete and Olympic champion. He was born in El Salado, San Luis Potosí. In his relatively short career, Bautista dominated the walk, on the track as well as in road events. He won international attention in 1975 when he won the 20 km walk at the Pan-American Games in his native Mexico City, which made him among the favorites for the Olympic games the following year. At the 1976 Summer Olympic games in Montreal he won the gold in front of two East German athletes, Hans Reimann who won silver, and defending Olympic champion Peter Frenkel who took bronze.
