Darren Randolph (born May 12, 1987 in Bray, Republic of Ireland) is an Irish goalkeeper playing for Charlton Athletic. He is a Republic of Ireland U-21 international and has also been in the senior Republic of Ireland squad. Randolph has also represented Ireland at basketball.

From Bray, Co.Wicklow, Randolph played school football with Ardmore Rovers. He is the son of Ed Randolph, one of the first American imports to the Irish Basketball League. He is also a past pupil of St. Cronan's Boys National School in Bray.

Randolph spent the beginning of the 2005-06 season on loan at Accrington Stanley and earned himself a 2 year contract at Charlton Athletic. In August and September 2006 he spent a month on loan at League One Gillingham.

In the last game of the 2006-07 season, Randolph played his first game for Charlton Athletic's first team in an away match against Liverpool. Even though Charlton were already relegated, Randolph put in a sound performance and limited Liverpool to two goals, one of which was a penalty kick.
