Darren Bennett (born 9 January 1965 in Sydney, New South Wales) is a former Australian rules football player and American football punter in the National Football League.

As an Australian rules footballer, he played 12 seasons for two clubs. He is most notable for his career at the Melbourne Football Club, being named as one of the club's 150 Heroes of the last 150 years, kicking 215 goals from just 74 games for the club.

As an American football player, following a three club career in the National Football League he is regarded as one of the greatest players of the 1990s and a member of the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team.

This combination made him notable as arguably the most successful of the Australian sportsmen linked to professional American Football in history.
