Darren Collins (born 15 November 1967) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood, Footscray and Fitzroy in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).[1]

Collins, a rover, was recruited to Collingwood from East Reservoir and was 17 when he made his VFL debut in 1985. He kicked 24 goals from his 15 appearances that season, to finish third in the Collingwood goal-kicking.[2]
