Darren Grimwade

Darren John Grimwade (born 3 April 1980) is an Australian politician. He was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 2012 to 2015, representing the electorate of Morayfield.

Grimwade was born in Redcliffe. He worked as a baker and as a director of a taxation franchise before buying a pizza café in Burpengary in 2007, which he was operating at the time of his election to parliament. He was awarded Queensland Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2008.

Grimwade was elected to the Legislative Assembly at the 2012 state election, defeating Labor MP Mark Ryan.

At the 2020 local government elections, Grimwade was returned to council, again representing Division 11 with a 76.52% primary vote. He was again elected in 2024, this time unopposed.

On 10 July 2025, it was announced that he had tendered his resignation as Councillor for Division 11 in the City of Moreton Bay, triggering a by-election, citing his wife's career progression and relocation to outback Queensland.
