Damien Michael Woody (born November 3, 1977 in Beaverdam, VA) is an all-pro NFL offensive lineman. His listed height is 6'3" and his listed weight is 325 pounds. He has played center and offensive guard.

Woody played center at Boston College before the Patriots selected him 17th overall in the first round of the 1999 draft. Woody would go on to start 76 games with the Patriots, mostly at center.

As the anchor of a tough and effective New England offensive line, Woody was a member of two Super-Bowl-winning teams, in 2002 and 2004. He did not play in Super Bowl XXXVIII against the Carolina Panthers because of a knee injury.

Woody signed as a free agent with the Detroit Lions in March 2004 and has started every game since joining the Lions. His outstanding play earned him a selection as a Pro Bowl alternate in 2004.
