Daze or Daze 22 is the alias of a graffiti artist who has been active in the Birmingham area since the early 1990s. According to Birmingham police his work has appeared mainly along interstate corridors and mainly over weekends and holidays.

Daze and Roke collaborated on a 2006 mural on the back wall of Martin Flowers on 21st Street South near University Boulevard.

In 2009 work by him and several other graffiti artists was shown at a Bare Hands exhibit. Later that year he collaborated with Roke and Mobile-based artist Priest to "uncover" a portion of the painted-over mural Geo-Chromatic Progress on the 22nd Street Viaduct.

Fellow graffiti artist Moist has described Daze as "the king of Birmingham graffiti".
