Damien Varley (born 29 October 1983) is a former Irish rugby union player who represented Munster and Ireland.

Varley made his senior debut for Munster as a replacement in a Celtic League fixture against Ospreys on 5 May 2006.

[7] Varley also started for Munster when they beat arch-rivals, and newly crowned Heineken Cup champions, Leinster 19–9 in the 2011 Magners League Grand Final.

[10] Varley joined the Ireland squad for the 2010 Summer Tour as cover for Jerry Flannery, and was selected for the New Zealand Barbarians for their match against New Zealand Maori, after the IRFU agreed to release two players for the fixture, but had to withdraw from the squad due to a back injury.

However, during training at the World Cup, Jerry Flannery suffered an injury and Varley was called up to replace him in the squad.
