Darren Smith (born 6 December 1986) is a Scottish footballer who plays for East of Scotland League side Dunbar United F.C. .

Smith, who began his career with Hibernian, signed for Airdrie United in 2007. He was part of the Airdrie side who won the Scottish Challenge Cup in 2008.[1] Smith was dropped by manager Kenny Black soon afterwards, but was recalled when it was announced that Steven McDougall and Joe Cardle had signed pre-contract agreements with Dunfermline.[2]

Smith was released by Airdrie in 2010, and then spent a few months out of the game. He signed for Albion Rovers on a short-term deal in February 2011.[3]

In July 2011, Smith signed for Berwick Rangers.[4]

After leaving Berwick at the end of the 2011–12 season, Smith joined Scottish Junior side Kelty Hearts, then a year later signed for fellow junior club Ballingry Rovers.[5] On 25 July 2014, he moved to another junior club, Bonnyrigg Rose.[6]

In August 2021 Smith joined East of Scotland Premier League side Dunbar United F.C.
