Darren Pfeiffer (born 28 September 1987) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Carlton Football Club and Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Pfeiffer played early football for Norwood in the SANFL under 19s, before being drafted by the Adelaide Football Club in the 2005 AFL National Draft with its first round selection (No. 17 overall). After suffering injury setbacks and, by his own admission, a lack of application, he was delisted at the end of 2007 without playing a senior game.
