Daryl Griffiths (born 6 November 1945) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda in the VFL.
A seventeen year old schoolboy recruited from Terang in the Western District, he spent some time in the reserves before getting a call up for the round 9 game against Essendon. Lining up at full forward he managed to kick a goal with his first kick in VFL football. Shortly afterwards he was flattened by Essendon's "Bluey" Shelton and left the ground with a broken collarbone in the same match.
Griffiths played with St Kilda in several positions including as ruck-rover in the 1966 premiership win.
Club best and fairest winner in 1970 in a talented side. In 1971 he stood out of football for the year as he had asked for a clearance to East Fremantle but the club wouldn't clear him. If you stood out of football for a year it automatically gave you an open clearance. He moved to Western Australia and choose to play for Claremont in the WAFL.
