Darren Michael Bravo (born 6 February 1989 in Santa Cruz, Trinidad) is a West Indian cricketer who plays domestic cricket for Trinidad and Tobago, international cricket for the West Indies in One Day International (ODI) cricket and Test cricket and for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League. A left-handed batsman, his batting style has drawn comparisons with Brian Lara. Bravo is the younger half brother of fellow West Indies cricketer Dwayne Bravo and is the first cousin of former cricketer Brian Lara.

Trinidad and Tobago Bravo made his first team debut in January 2007, he scored seven in a one-day match against Guyana. He made his first-class debut three days later against the Leeward Islands and scored eight. After another single figure score in his next match against the Windward Islands he made no other appearances in the 2006/07 season. He returned to the under-19 team for the TCL Under-19 Challenge and finished the tournament as leading run scorer, in five matches scoring 419 runs at an average of 59.85.

In preparation for the 2008 Under-19 World Cup the West Indies under-19s competed in the 2007–08 KFC Cup. Bravo played for the side in two matches, the first saw his team dismissed for a one-day record low total of 18, Bravo was one of six players who was dismissed without scoring. Bravo described it as a learning experience saying: "Collins was getting a lot of movement and Edwards was bowling very fast. It was difficult to get them away but the experience was good for us and it came in handy in the other games." At the under-19 World Cup Bravo played in all five of West Indies matches scoring 165 runs at 55. In the plate final against Nepal he took three wickets for nine runs (3/9) and scored 24 not out. Bravo finished the 2007/08 season with two first-class matches but failed to score a substantial innings with a best of 29.
