Darren David Powell (born March 10, 1976 in Hammersmith) is an English footballer who currently plays for Southampton. He is a centre back.

Darren Powell began his career with Hampton & Richmond Borough before moving to Brentford where he spent four years. In August 2002 he signed for Crystal Palace for £400k and initially became an integral part of the team, scoring in the dying seconds of Palace's Play-off Semi-Final Second Leg game, at Sunderland taking the score on the night to a 2-1 defeat, but the aggregate score to 4-4. Palace won on penalties, and were promoted to the Premiership, following a Final win over West Ham. After promotion, he fell out of favour and spent a month at the end of 2004 on loan to West Ham.

In July 2005 he was out of contract and signed for Harry Redknapp at Southampton on a Bosman free transfer. Powell's first goal for the Saints was against Ipswich Town on 13 September 2005.
