Darren Forssman (born 14 September 1970) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Australian Football League (AFL).

A utility, Geelong recruited Forssman from Colac.[1] Forssman made 15 appearances in the 1992 AFL season, but an ankle injury cost him a chance of playing in that year's grand final.[2][3]

Forssman has coached Geelong Football League clubs Colac and Geelong West St Peters, and was assistant coach of the Geelong West Giants senior women's team, alongside Steve Toohey.[4][5]
