Séamus Darby (born 1950, Rhode, County Offaly) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer.

[1] Darby is best remembered for scoring an unexpected late goal that deprived Kerry of a 5-in-a-row in the 1982 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.

[1] Darby was recalled to the Offaly team for the 1982 Leinster final, playing full-forward against Dublin.

Kerry were winning by two points with two minutes to go when Darby — who had arrived on the field of play as a substitute, with instructions to stay forward and try for a goal — got behind his marker Tommy Doyle,[1] caught a "high, lobbing, dropping ball", and scored one of the most famous goals of all time.

[1] The 1982 All-Ireland and Darby's part in it received renewed attention in 2010 when the Kilkenny hurlers were aiming to complete their own five-in-a-row, also never realised.
