Lars-Erik Eriksen (born December 29, 1954) was a Norwegian cross country skier who competed in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

At the 1980 Winter Olympics, he earned a silver in the 4 x 10 km. His biggest success though was at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships where he earned four medals with one gold: 4 x 10 km (1982 - tied with the Soviet Union), one silver: 30 km (1982), and two bronzes: 4 x 10 km (1978) and 50 km (1982). Additionally, he won the 15 km event at the 1984 Holmenkollen ski festival. Eriksen also won the King's Cup (Norway) in 1983.

Eriksen was awarded the Holmenkollen medal in 1984 (shared with Jacob Vaage and Armin Kogler).
