Daryl Joseph Mitchell (born 20 May 1991) is a New Zealand cricketer who plays all formats of the game for the New Zealand national team and represents Canterbury in domestic cricket. He is the son of New Zealand rugby union coach and former player John Mitchell.

After appearing in over 200 domestic matches in New Zealand's domestic cricket system, Mitchell finally made his international debut in 2019. Mitchell is known for his adaptability and went onto cement his reputation of playing any given role assigned to him at international level. He nailed his reputation as a bankable finisher especially noted for his ability to finish the games. He had been one of the most impactful players in the Super Smash and renowned for having hit the most sixes in Super Smash prior to his late entry to international cricket. He is often confused by fans and English cricket pundits, as his namesake Daryl Mitchell is also a right-handed batting all-rounder originally from England who has mainly played for Worcestershire at county level.
