Darwin Cubs is a now-defunct Association football club from Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.

The Cubs played as a foreign team in the Singapore Premier League in 1994 and finished runners-up to another Australian team, Perth Kangaroos IFC. They also entered the Singapore league the following year, but had to withdraw part way through the season due to financial difficulties.

The Cubs were managed by Nicholas Mitaros. Some of the team's higher-profile players included Luis Rodriguez, Peter Politis, Manuel Lolias, Barbero, Hamilton Thorpe, Jason Petković, Cyril Ndongo-Keller and Carlo Talladira, all of whom moved to or returned to Australian National Soccer League clubs after the demise of the Cubs.
