Wayne Atwood (born July 24, 1964) is a Welsh darts player from Caerphilly. He is not a full-time professional player - he makes his full-time living as a plasterer. He uses the nickname the Celtic Warrior for his matches.
He plays on the Professional Darts Corporation circuit and has reached the top 60 in the world. He has yet to make an impression on the major tournaments having only qualified for the World Championship on two occasions - reaching the last 32 in 2004 and being knocked out in the first round in 2007.
He achieved his first major success in June 2007 by winning the Thailf Open (a non-ranked PDC event) and a €2,400 cheque. He defeated former World Champion John Part on his way to the final where he beat Gary Welding for the trophy.
