Daryl Michael Murphy (born 15 March 1983) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a striker or winger for Newcastle United.

Born in Waterford, County Waterford, Murphy played for local side Southend United before joining English club Luton Town on 14 November 2000. He was released on 18 April 2002 before signing for hometown club Waterford United. He scored his first League of Ireland goal in a 3–1 away win over rivals Kilkenny City on 19 September. He scored eight league goals in that last "winter" season as the Blues won the League of Ireland First Division title. In the 2004 season, he notched 14 league goals in the Premier Division which earned him the PFAI Young Player of the Year award. In May 2005 he signed a two-year contract at Sunderland.

Murphy had a one-month loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday during the 2005–06 season before he was recalled by Sunderland. On 12 February 2006, he scored his first Premier League goal after coming off the bench at home to Tottenham Hotspur, equalising with minutes to go.

In the 2006–07 season, Murphy scored 10 goals in the Championship despite being used sparingly for the early weeks. He netted one goal each on the opening day of the season against Coventry City and on 12 August against Plymouth Argyle though both matches were lost. Murphy scored his third goal of the season in the Black Cats' 2–1 away win over Queens Park Rangers on 28 November, and then notched in successive games against Norwich City and Luton Town. On the final day of the season, he scored two goals against Luton Town while also setting up Anthony Stokes for his goal.
