Lars Petter Nordhaug (born 14 May 1984 in Tønsberg) is a Norwegian professional road bicycle racer for UCI ProTour team Team Sky.

He started his career as a mountain biker, but after finishing 5th in the 2004 Norwegian National Road Racing Championship, his focus changed towards road bicycle racing. His breakthrough came two years later, in 2006, when he won the National Road Racing Championship. This year was his breakout year, also winning Birkebeinerrittet.

After a week of rumours, it was announced on 10 September 2009 that Nordhaug would be joining Team Sky from the 2010 season, along with fellow Norwegians Edvald Boasson Hagen and Kurt Asle Arvesen.
