Casper Ruud (born 22 December 1998) is a Norwegian tennis player.

Ruud reached the third round of the 2015 French Open boys' singles event, losing to Corentin Denolly. He also reached the third round of the 2015 US Open boys' singles and the second round of the 2015 Wimbledon boys' singles, making it his best singles performances in the respective competitions in Junior Grand Slams during his Junior career.

In the 2015 Wimbledon Boy's Doubles Ruud made it to the semi finals together with partner Miomir Kecmanović, before losing out to Lý Hoàng Nam and Sumit Nagal who went on to win the tournament. They got knocked out in the first round of the 2015 US Open Boy's Doubles. In 2016 Ruud and Kecmanović reached the semi finals of the 2016 French Open Boy's Doubles before getting knocked out by Youssef Hossam and Jurabek Karimov.

Ruud started the year by being the no. 1 ranked Junior player on January 4, making him the first Norwegian to do so.

For the 2016 season, Ruud set his goals on playing Futures tournaments to play more senior tennis and start climbing the ATP Rankings. In February he played his first Futures final, a final he ended up winning against Carlos Taberner in Paguera, Spain.
