Jay Norwood Darling (October 21, 1876 - February 12, 1962), better known as Ding Darling, was a Pulitzer-Prize winning American cartoonist.

Darling was born in Norwood, Michigan, where his parents, Marcellus and Clara, had recently moved so that Marcellus could begin work as a minister. In 1886, the family moved to Sioux City, Iowa. Darling began college at Yankton College in South Dakota in 1894, changing to Beloit College in Wisconsin the following year. There he became art editor of the yearbook and began signing his work with a contraction of his last name, D'ing, a nickname which stuck.

In 1900, Ding became a reporter for the Sioux City Journal. Following his marriage to Genevieve Pendleton in 1906, he began work with the Des Moines Register and Leader. In 1911, he moved to New York and worked with the New York Globe but went back to Des Moines in 1913. Three years later, in 1916, he returned to New York and accepted a position with the New York Herald Tribune. By 1919, Darling returned a final time to Des Moines where he continued his illustrious career as a cartoonist, twice receiving the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. His cartoons were published from 1917 to 1949 in the New York Herald Tribune.
