Darran O'Sullivan (born 3 May 1986– in London, England) is a Gaelic footballer. He plays Gaelic football with his local club Glenbeigh-Glencar, his divisional side Mid Kerry and has been a member of the Kerry senior inter-county team since 2005. O'Sullivan captained Kerry to the All-Ireland title in 2009.
While still in London, O'Sullivan began his under-age football career with Tír Chonaill Gaels. After moving to Kerry in the late 1990s he immediately joined the local Glenbeigh-Glencar club, while he has also lined out with the Mid Kerry divisional side.
In his short club football career O'Sullivan has enjoyed much success. In 2004, he was the star player when Glenbeigh-Glencar defeated Churchill by 2–5 to 1–6 to take the county novice football championship.
With Mid Kerry O'Sullivan lined out in the final of the county senior championship in 2008. Kerins O'Rahilly's provided the opposition on that occasion, however, the game ended in a draw. The replay was also an exciting affair with Kerins O'Rahilly's heading for victory with the game entering the dying minutes. Mid Kerry launched one final attack that finished with Ian Twiss being upended in the O'Rahilly's square. The referee showed no hesitation pointing to the spot and up stepped Aidan O'Shea to guarantee himself hero status in Mid Kerry. After converting the penalty Mid Kerry took a 1–7 to 0–9 lead. With that the game was over and O'Sullivan collected his first county senior championship winners' medal. Because divisional sides are not allowed to take part in the provincial club championship, county runners-up Kerins O'Rahilly's represented the county in Munster.
