Leo Laurens is a retired Belgian darts player who competed for the British Darts Organisation. By the end of 1993, Laurens was ranked number one in the WDF world rankings after all of the BDO's top players broke away to form the World Darts Council (now the Professional Darts Corporation). Despite his new accolade, Laurens never managed to win a major title.

Laurens made his World Championship debut in 1989, losing in the first round to American Rick Ney. He returned a year later, beating Canada's Bob Sinnaeve, before losing to Mike Gregory. His best performance came in 1997, where he reached the quarter finals after beating Richie Davies and Richie Burnett. He lost to reigning champion Steve Beaton.

He also played in the Winmau World Masters in 1988, 1993 and 1995, losing in the first round on each occasion.
