Darren Barr (born 17 March 1985 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for Scottish Championship side Dumbarton where he is club captain.
Barr has represented Scotland as a full internationalist and as a B internationalist. He has previously played for Heart of Midlothian, Falkirk, Forfar Athletic, Kilmarnock and Ross County.
Barr enrolled at St. Michael's Primary School in his home community of Moodiesburn in 1990, and from 1997 attended St. Maurice's High School in Cumbernauld. He was a keen footballer during his school years, playing for Westfield boys club and later the Moodiesburn equivalent.
Barr went on to sign for Falkirk on 12 July 2002, and made his first team debut on 13 March 2004, as a substitute against Queen of the South. He made two more appearances the next season before being loaned out to Forfar Athletic at the start of the 2005–06 season.
Barr broke through to the first team at the start of the 2006–07 season scoring his first goal for the club on 5 August 2006, in Falkirk's victory over Dunfermline. In December 2006, he was named as SPL Young Player of the Month for December. Barr received his first ever red card on 20 January 2007, for squaring up to Hearts' Andrius Velicka, but the decision was overturned on appeal and Barr was instead credited with a yellow card. The following season Barr was sent off twice: first against Hibernian, being given a second yellow card for throwing the ball away and then against Celtic for receiving a second yellow card.
