Joey ten Berge (born October 18, 1985 in The Hague) is a Dutch darts player who plays in British Darts Organisation events.
Joey won the 2001 WDF Europe Youth Cup beating Sweden's Markus Korhonen in the final. Six years later, he captured his first professional title by capturing the 2007 Austrian Open, defeating Hungary's Nándor Bezzeg in the final. He followed up by winning the Open Oost Nederland a month later. He fell two games short of qualifying for the 2008 BDO World Darts Championship, losing to American Steve Brown and also fell two rounds short of making the televised stages of the 2007 Winmau World Masters, losing to Paul Gibbs.
Joey won the 2008 Swiss Open, beating fellow Dutchman Edwin Max in the semi finals and then beat England's Dave Prins in the final. He then reached the final of the Welsh Classic, losing to Scottish Open champion Garry Thompson.
He reached the televised stages of the 2008 World Masters, where he again beat Max to reach the quarter finals, losing to Norway's Robert Wagner who won six straight legs for a 3-0 win in sets.
Joey earned one of the non-seeded places for the 2009 BDO World Darts Championship, meaning he did not need to qualify for the event. He was drawn with 11th seed Martin Atkins in the first round and lost 3-2.
Seeded 9th in the 2010 BDO World Darts Championship, Joey exited in the first round following a 3-2 defeat by Brian Woods.
At the 2011 BDO World Darts Championship ten Berge beat qualifier Shaun Griffiths 3-0 in the first round but lost in the second round 4-3 to Martin Phillips.
