Dennis Alphons Ronald van de Laar (born 3 February 1994) is a retired Dutch motorsport competitor.

Van de Laar initiated his racing journey in the Formido Swift Cup, where he achieved one victory and secured third place in the overall classification. In 2011, he progressed to the Formula Renault Northern European Cup driving for Van Amersfoort Racing, attaining a highest race finish of sixth and concluding the season seventh in the championship rankings. The next year, he advanced to the German Formula Three Championship with the same outfit, finishing ninth in the final standings and earning a podium at Zandvoort. Additionally, 2012 saw him make his debut in the Formula 3 Euro Series and participate in both the Masters of Formula 3 and Macau Grand Prix events.

In 2013, van de Laar competed in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship representing Van Amersfoort Racing, where he recorded six finishes within the top ten and ended the year 20th overall. He also returned to contest the Masters of F3 and Macau Grand Prix, finishing 11th and 18th respectively.

Following a single victory and three podium placements during the 2014 Florida Winter Series, van de Laar signed with Prema Powerteam for the FIA European F3 Championship. Although he improved his championship position to 14th, his performance was overshadowed by teammates Esteban Ocon (champion), Antonio Fuoco (fifth), and Nicholas Latifi (tenth). He concluded his racing career after the 2014 season.

Since April 2021, van de Laar has held shares in Returnista, a logistics firm headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
