Darwin Adelso Cerén Delgado (born 31 December 1989) is a Salvadoran footballer who plays for the Major League Soccer club San Jose Earthquakes and is captain of the El Salvador national team.
Darwin began his professional career with Juventud Independiente in 2009 along with his brother Oscar. He helped lift them from the second division to the first division. In total, he made 83 appearance for the club and scored 15 goals before departing in February 2014. In the summer of 2013, he went on trial with Balıkesirspor of the Turkish second division, but a deal was never worked out.
It was announced on 6 February 2014 that Ceren had signed for Orlando City SC of the USL Pro for the 2014 USL Pro season and for 2015 as OCSC enter Major League Soccer, becoming the club's third addition to their MLS roster. Cerén went on to make 22 league appearances for the club, scoring two goals and assisting on three others, during the 2014 USL Pro season, Orlando City's last in the league before making the jump to Major League Soccer. Cerén also won the Commissioner's Cup with the club during his first season before Orlando's surprise defeat to the Harrisburg City Islanders in the first round of the playoffs which saw Orlando eliminated.
Darwin Cerén was acquired by the San Jose Earthquakes on August 3, 2016 in exchange for midfielder Matias Perez Garcia and an international roster slot through the end of the 2016 MLS season.
