Darvin Ham (born July 23 1973 in Saginaw, Michigan) is a professional basketball player formerly with the Detroit Pistons. He attended Saginaw High School and Texas Tech University, where he gained national attention by shattering a backboard on a slam dunk during a game. The dunk was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Ham competed in the 1996 NBA Slam Dunk Contest and was a member of the 2004 NBA champion Detroit Pistons. His powerful slams have earned him the nickname "Dunkin Darvin" from George Blaha, the Pistons play-by-play announcer.

On January 17th, 2006, Ham was enlisted by the Philippine Basketball Association team Talk N Text Phone Pals as its import. He averaged 16 points for the Pals in the 2006 PBA Fiesta Conference Playoffs. However, the Pals eventually lost to Air21 Express in the series, 2-3.

He is a son of Wilmer Jones Ham, the current mayor pro-tempore of Saginaw.
