Vincent van der Voort (born December 18, 1975 in Purmerend) is a darts player from The Netherlands.
His best results are winning the Danish Open in 2002 and 2006 and reaching the quarter finals of the World Professional Darts Championship in Frimley Green in 2005. He is also Dutch Champion 2006.
He suffered a first round exit in the 2007 BDO World Darts Championship to unranked qualifier Davy Richardson. On January 14, 2007. the night of the 2007 BDO World Championship Final, it was announced on Dutch television that van der Voort, along with Jelle Klaasen and Michael van Gerwen would be switching to the Professional Darts Corporation.
Van Der Voort is well known for his spasmodic style and machine-gun speed of play which has gained him a reputation in both the BDO and the PDC for being one of the more erratic throwers in the darting world. This has resulted in him tending to be either right on or way off his intended target.
Nevertheless after his suprise first round exit in the BDO World Championships to Davy Richardson Van Der Voort is determined to prove his class in the PDC alongside fellow Dutch stars Raymond Van Barneveld, Roland Scholten, Jelle Klaasen and Michael Van Gerwen.
