Danny Kladis was an American racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1954 season. He made a single Grand Prix start for the Bromme team but failed to score points, finishing twenty-seventh in the race. His Formula 1 appearance was his only recorded competitive outing at that level.[1]

Kladis's rating of 2,947 places him in the amateur to semi-professional range, reflecting the limited sample of his single Grand Prix start against the field of that era. The Bromme team he drove for was itself a marginal operation; across the database's records it never recorded a race win and fielded only three drivers, the strongest of whom was Rodger Ward, a much more accomplished professional racer. Kladis's recorded career ended in 1954, though he remained active in American motorsport circles, notably as a competitor in the Indianapolis 500.[2]
