James Herbert Darby (26 October 1865 – 7 November 1943) was an English first-class cricketer.
Darby was born at Fareham in October 1865. He made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Sussex at Hove in 1884.[1] Following the 1884 season, Hampshire lost their first-class status and spent the next decade playing as a second-class county. Three years after Hampshire regained their first-class status, Darby returned to first-class cricket when he played against Warwickshire in the 1897 County Championship. He made two further first-class appearances in that season, against Yorkshire and Sussex.[1] In four first-class matches, he scored 78 runs with a highest score of 35.[2] Darby died at Fareham in November 1943, following a long illness.[3]
