Damian Lane (born 6 February 1994) is an Australian jockey based in Victoria.
Lane was born in Bunbury in Western Australia to Michael and Vickey Lane, who were both horse trainers. He grew up around horses, and began his career in Western Australia in 2009, and later moved to Victoria. His first Group One winner was Trust In A Gust in the 2014 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield. As of mid-September 2024, he has ridden 1,514 winners, including 31 in Group One races.
Lane spent three months in Japan from April to July 2019, riding 37 winners, including his first Japanese Grade 1 victory at the Victoria Mile with Normcore, and spent another three months there between April and July 2020, riding 41 winners. In 2019 in the Melbourne spring racing carnival he rode the Japanese-trained horses Mer De Glace and Lys Gracieux in their respective Caulfield Cup and W. S. Cox Plate wins.
Lane returned to Japan in 2022 where he marked his 100th Japanese race win on June 19 with Rain From Heaven. In 2023, he won the Japanese Derby with Tastiera, making him the first jockey from the Southern Hemisphere to win a Japanese classic race.
