Derek Jamie "DJ" Forbes (born 15 December 1982) is a New Zealand former rugby union player and captain of the All Blacks Sevens team. Forbes is part Samoan, and also played rugby fifteens as a loose forward for Counties Manukau.[1]

Forbes was born in Auckland, New Zealand. He attended Liston College, Waitakere. He received the captaincy role in 2006 and subsequently played in over 80 tournaments, winning six Sevens Series titles and one Gold and one Silver Commonwealth Games medal.[2][3] Forbes stepped down as captain for the All Blacks Sevens to concentrate on earning a spot in the team for the 2016 Olympics.[4][5]

His uncle is the late former Samoan international Peter Fatialofa.[6]

Forbes was awarded the 2008 New Zealand Samoan Sportsperson of the year.[7] He announced his retirement from rugby sevens in 2017. He appeared in 512 games in 89 tournaments and won six World Series.[8][9][10][11]
