Daniel Jordan Sousa is a fictional character portrayed by Enver Gjokaj in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). A war veteran and agent with the SSR (and later S.H.I.E.L.D.) who experiences prejudice due to his crippled leg, he was created for Agent Carter (2015–2016). Gjokaj then signed a deal to return for the seventh season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2020).

In the first season of Agent Carter, set in 1946, Sousa's own investigation into Howard Stark after he is framed for supplying deadly weapons to enemies of the United States leads to him discovering Peggy Carter's secret providence of him with assistance. In the second season, set in 1947, his relationship with Carter becoming complicated, Sousa accepts the position of chief of the Los Angeles SSR office to get some distance from her, and eventually begins a new relationship with Violet, a nurse. However, Violet leaves Sousa when she discovers that he still has feelings for Carter; Sousa eventually begins a relationship with Carter, once they defeat Whitney Frost together.

Gjokaj reprises his role as Sousa during the seventh season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. In 1955, he first encounters the main time-travelling S.H.I.E.L.D. team after he encounters Jemma Simmons impersonating Peggy Carter, their relationship having ended. After preventing him from being assassinated by a Hydra agent sent by Wilfred Malick as he originally was in history, Sousa joins the team in their mission through time against the Chronicoms, entering a romantic relationship with Daisy Johnson after being trapped in a time loop. In the process, a new and more advanced prosthetic leg is built for him which enables him to walk and run normally again. One year after defeating the Chronicoms, Sousa joins the present day S.H.I.E.L.D. and continues to work alongside Daisy and Kora.

Gjokaj was cast in the role in August 2014, having previously portrayed a police officer who encounters Steve Rogers in The Avengers. "He was a soldier, and he had been very active all his life, and now he has to figure out how to use his brains, how to try to be smart," Gjokaj explained of the character. "He accepts his injury, he accepts his compromised status in society ... Peggy says, 'Forget this. I'm Peggy Carter. I'm going to do something else.' I think that's the difference between the two of them." Considering a potentially romantic relationship between Sousa and Carter, Gjokaj said, "I think there’s definitely a situation where ... if she hadn't dated Captain America, he might ask her out for a drink. It’s like if your new girlfriend dated Ryan Gosling. It’s going to make you sweat a bit."
