Robert "Bud" Larsen (born 1942) is an American craftsman and maker of the Hardanger fiddle. His making of Hardanger fiddles is a side activity.
Larsen's father played violin and Hardanger fiddle. He had emigrated from Førde, Sunnfjord, Norway and lived for many years in Fargo, North Dakota.
Robert Larsen became, at the age of 13, apprenticed to the Norwegian-American fiddlemaker Gunnar Gunnarsson Helland as a repairman and a fiddle maker in Fargo from 1957 to 1965.
