Geofrey "Geof" Darrow (born October 21, 1955) is an American comic book artist, best known for his work on Hard Boiled; The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, which was adapted into an animated television series of the same name, and Shaolin Cowboy.

Darrow was a student at Hanna-Barbera cartoon studios after studying at the American Academy of Arts in Chicago. In the early 1980s he worked in character design for the Super Friends, Richie Rich, and Pac-Man television series.

In 1982, he met French comic book writer and artist "Mœbius" who was working on the film Tron. Two years later, the two collaborated on an art portfolio of prints named La Cité Feu which saw a to 100 copies limited American release by Starwatcher Graphics – Moebius' own Californian publishing house – in 1985, but was later reissued on a somewhat larger scale by Dark Horse as City of Fire in 1993. Incidentally, Darrow's follow-up solo project, the 1986 East Meets West portfolio (), was published by , the also Moebius (co-)owned French mother company of Starwatcher.

Geof has stated in interviews that he considers Hergé, Jack Kirby (who he worked with at Hanna-Barbera), Osamu Tezuka, and Jean "Mœbius" Giraud as his artistic influences.

In 1986, Geof produced "Comics and Stories," a collection of stories starring his own character Bourbon Thret, for publisher Aedena. It contains several pin ups colored by Moebius, Tanino Liberatore and Francois Boucq.
