André Brantjes (born 29 November 1958) is a Dutch professional darts player currently playing for the British Darts Organisation. He achieved some fame during the 2005 World Championship, which was his debut at the event. He beat compatriot Co Stompe 3-2 in the first round, making a 170 checkout in only his second leg of the match, and then upset the previous year's runner-up and world number one, Mervyn King, again by 3-2. However, he was then soundly defeated by Simon Whitlock in the quarter-finals, 5-1. Brantjes has not played in a tournament since the 2006 British Open.
