Jarkko Komula (born March 13, 1976) is a Finnish darts player who plays for the British Darts Organisation. He is nicknamed Smiley, ironically enough because he rarely smiles.

Komula reached the final of the 2001 Winmau World Masters, beating Andy Fordham 4-0 in the semi-finals. He was beaten in the final by Raymond van Barneveld. He made his BDO World Darts Championship debut in 2002, losing to Ted Hankey in the first round. He suffered a second first round exit at the Lakeside in 2003, losing to Vincent van der Voort. In the 2004 BDO World Darts Championship, he finally won a match, beating Paul Hanvidge but lost in the second round to Mervyn King. In 2005, he lost in the first round again, this time to Robert Wagner.

On May 31, 2008, Komula won the Nordic Cup, beating Sweden's Markus Korhonen in the final.
