Darien Elizabeth Fenton (born 25 February 1954) is a New Zealand politician and was a Member of Parliament from 2005 until her retirement in 2014.

On her entry to parliament in 2005, a newspaper claimed that she might have the "most varied CV of any newcomer to Parliament", including extensive travels, and work as an extra in India in Bollywood movies and as an administrative research assistant to the Tower of London's master of armouries.

[2] In 2014 she admitted that her varied experiences in the 1970s had also left her with a heroin addiction, and that the New Zealand health-funded methadone programme '"...saved my life"'.

In 2009 Fenton's Employment Relations (Statutory Minimum Redundancy Entitlements) Amendment Bill was drawn from the member's ballot.

[11] In 2012, Fenton backed a bill that would have stopped libraries from charging for access to material and the internet.
