Darren Fay (born 11 April 1976 in Trim, County Meath) is a former Gaelic footballer who played for the Meath county team.
He is regarded as the latest in a long line of accomplished Meath full-backs, following the likes of Mick Lyons, Jack Quinn, Paddy O'Brien and Tommy "The Boiler" McGuinness.
He came to prominence in 1996 when he won an All-Ireland senior medal in his first season as a Meath regular first team player.
On 23 July 2008 Fay confirmed his retirement after a defeat to Limerick.
He was a selector when Barry Callaghan managed the Meath under-20 team.
