Air Vice-Marshal D'Arcy Power CBE MC MRCS (2 June 1889 – 26 December 1958) was a British surgeon and Royal Air Force officer. He was the son of Sir D'Arcy Power, also a surgeon.
Power followed his father into part-time service in the RAMC in 1911, and during the First World War became a captain and won the Military Cross. He transferred to the Medical Branch of the Royal Air Force on the formation of the new service on 1 April 1918—taking a permanent commission as a flight lieutenant in 1920—and ultimately reaching the rank of acting air vice marshal by 1945 when he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
