Louis Théodule Darques (8 June 1896 – 18 February 1984) was a French footballer who played as a midfielder for Olympique de Pantin and the France national team between 1917 and 1924. He was the captain of the Pantin team for several years, leading them to three finals of the Coupe de France between 1918 and 1921, and netting a goal in two of them, including in the tournament's first-ever final in 1918, thus becoming the first captain to lift a Coupe de France trophy.
