Darren Fay (born 11 April 1976 in 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 plays club football for Trim. 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. In 1999 he won his second All-Ireland medal. He is also the holder of 3 Leinster Senior medals. Fay has won 3 All Star awards. For the 2006 season Fay made himself unavailable for the Meath team but he returned to the Meath panel for the 2007 season. On 23 July 2008 Fay confirmed his retirement after a defeat to Limerick.
