Darren O'Rourke (born 1979/1980) is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who has been a TD for the Meath East constituency since the 2020 general election.
Originally from Kells, O'Rourke trained in Dublin Institute of Technology and holds a number of master's degrees from Trinity College Dublin and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. He was a medical scientist at St. James's Hospital in Dublin.
O'Rourke was previously a policy advisor to CaoimhghÃÂn àCaoláin TD. He was the Sinn Féin candidate at the 2013 Meath East by-election, which was won by Fine Gael's Helen McEntee. He was unsuccessful again at the 2016 general election, but at the 2020 general election he topped the poll with 24.4% of the first-preference votes, and was elected on the second count.
He was a member of Meath County Council for the Ashbourne local electoral area from 2014 to 2020. Aisling àNéill was co-opted to O'Rourke's seat on Meath County Council following his election to the Dáil.
In 2022, O'Rourke put forward a bill to require all pharmaceutical companies to make their payments to healthcare organisations and professionals public in a register.
