Brock Orville Larson (born August 23, 1977) is a retired American professional mixed martial artist who competed in the Welterweight and Middleweight divisions. A professional competitor since 2002, Larson has also formerly competed for the UFC, the WEC, and ONE FC.

Larson is from Brainerd, Minnesota and was raised on a beef farm. Larson began competing in wrestling from a young age, continuing with the sport at Brainerd High School. Later while attending Itasca Community College, Larson was introduced to Brazilian jiu-jitsu by a friend. The two later competed in a Minnesota Martial Arts Academy submission tournament, with each winning and earning invites to train with future UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk. Larson also defeated former UFC fighter Tom Speer in an all-grappling match.

Larson made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2002 and compiled an undefeated record of 15-0 while competing in the regional circuit before being signed by the UFC.

Larson made his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 2 on October 3, 2005 in a Middleweight bout against Jon Fitch. Larson lost via unanimous decision.

After winning his next six consecutive fights, Larson returned to the promotion at UFC Fight Night 7 on December 13, 2006 where he faced Keita Nakamura. Larson won via unanimous decision.
