Darren Jeffrey Chester (born 13 September 1967) is an Australian politician. He is the National Party member of the Australian House of Representatives for the electoral division of Gippsland in Victoria. He was elected at the 2008 by-election caused by the resignation of Peter McGauran.

Chester was born in the Victorian town of Sale. He lives in Lakes Entrance with his wife and four children.[1]

Prior to entering federal politics, Chester was chief of staff to Peter Ryan, the leader of the Nationals in the Victorian state parliament. Chester contested Gippsland East as the National Party candidate at the 2002 Victorian state election, losing to independent Craig Ingram.[2] In 2004, Chester unsuccessfully stood for National Party preselection for the Senate position held by Julian McGauran. McGauran retained his party endorsement and was re-elected later that year, only to defect to the Liberal Party in 2006.[3]

Chester was re-elected at the 2010 election and appointed Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Roads and Regional Transport in September 2010.[4]
