Per Laursen (born April 16, 1966) is a Danish darts player. He reached the final of the WDF World Cup in 2005 and won the Welsh Open earlier that year - performances which enabled him to qualify for the BDO World Darts Championship for the first time in 2006.
On his television debut in the 2006 BDO World Darts Championship, he defeated number five seed Tony Eccles in the first round but lost to Shaun Greatbatch in round two. He then became the first Dane to play in the PDC World Darts Championship in the 2007 competition beating Colin Monk 3-0 (3-1, 3-2, 3-2) in the first round, but lost to Dennis Priestley in the second round, despite the fact that Laursen was 3-1 up and missed eight darts to win the match before losing 4-3 (2-3, 2-3, 3-2, 0-3, 3-0, 3-2, 3-1).
He came through the Danish Qualifying system for the second time for the 2008 PDC World Darts Championship but lost 3-1 (3-2, 1-3, 3-2, 3-1) to Alan Tabern in the first round.

At the 2010 PDC World Darts Championship Denmark had lost their direct place and Laursen, who had won the Danish qualification for the fourth time, had to qualify through the preliminary round but lost to Christian Perez of the Philippines.
Laursen qualified for the preliminary round of the 2011 World Championship, he did beat Boris Krcmar from Croatia 4-2 (legs).
In the first round he played three-time world champion John Part and won 3-0 (3-2, 3-1, 3-2) to set up a second round match with defending champion Phil Taylor- a match he lost 4-0 (3-1, 3-2, 3-0, 3-1) despite averaging 93.19.
