Laurent Delorge (born July 21, 1979) is a Belgian footballer who currently plays for Ajax. He also served AA Gent, Coventry City, Lierse SK, RSC Anderlecht and ADO Den Haag.

After scoring five goals in ten appearances in his Jupiler League debut season for AA Gent he was transferred to Coventry City that played in the FA Premier League. Delorge failed in his try to become a first team regular, in fact he did not play a single match in the first three seasons at the club. Only after Coventry relegated to the Football League Championship made his debut at the club. When Lierse SK offered him a contract to return to the Jupiler League in his home country he ended his foreign career straight away and soon became one of their key players. Eventually this led into a transfer which brought him into the squad of the top squad of the country, RSC Anderlecht.

While at Anderlecht he was fired on February 17, 2006 for alleged 'wrongdoing' with former club Lierse SK, in conjunction with the match-fixing investigation going on in Belgian football. Not much later he signed a 3-year contract deal with Dutch based Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag. In a disappointing season ADO was unable to remain in the Eredivisie and relegated to the Eerste Divisie. Delorge however was offered a contract at Ajax and signed a 2-year contract on May 10, 2007.
