Wessel Nijman (born 26 June 2000) is a Dutch professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events, where he is ranked world number twenty. He has won five PDC ranking titles, including the 2026 European Darts Trophy.
Following a match-fixing scandal in 2020 that saw him banned from the sport for two-and-a-half years, Nijman returned to competitive darts in 2023. He finished third on the 2023 PDC Development Tour ranking, which led to him making his PDC World Championship debut at the 2024 edition, as well as earning a PDC Tour Card. He has since won four Players Championships and one European Tour.
In his youth career, Nijman found success in the PDC's youth system, winning twelve PDC Development Tours, topping the 2024 Development Tour rankings, and reaching the semi-finals at the 2023 PDC World Youth Championship.
