Darnton Charles Davey (7 July 1856 – 7 October 1911) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Natal from 1889 to 1898.

An opening and middle-order batsman, who also played as a wicketkeeper for Natal in 1889-90, Darnton Davey was born in England and played a few minor games for Essex[1] before going to Natal, where he worked as an engineer with the Natal Harbour Board.[2][3] He toured England with the first South African touring team in 1894, when no first-class matches were played.

He made 80, the highest score of the match, when Natal lost to Transvaal by one wicket in the Currie Cup in 1894-95.[4] A few days later he umpired the Currie Cup final.[5] He top-scored (making 78) for Natal in his last first-class innings, against Border in 1897-98.[6]
