Danny Farrant (born in Weston-super-Mare, England) is an English musician who is the current drummer in the British punk band Buzzcocks, having joined the group following Phil Barker's departure in 2006.

He said: "The energy and venom coming from John Lydon's delivery, coupled with the no-nonsense meat and two veg of the band left everything else in its wake.

"[3] As a schoolboy, Farrant was a member of a short-lived new wave group called Safreak – a name that was culled from a half-erased piece of graffiti.

After leaving Safreak, Farrant formed a band called Burning Hearts, which appeared in a battle of the bands-style competition on BBC television's Going Live.

According to Buzzcocks singer Pete Shelley, Farrant learned thirty songs in two days when he joined the band.
