Laura Crocker (born November 19, 1990) is a Canadian curler originally from Scarborough, Ontario but currently residing in Edmonton, Alberta. She is a two-time Canadian University champion, a national junior champion, and a World Junior silver medalist. Crocker currently throws third for Team Kesley Rocque.

Crocker began her junior curling career as a skip. In 2008, her Scarboro Golf & Country Club rink made it to the provincial junior championships where her team finished with a 2–5 record. In 2010, Crocker was invited to join the Rachel Homan junior rink at the second position. The team's regular second, Alison Kreviazuk, was too old to play in juniors that season (but played with the team in World Curling Tour events). The rink would win the provincial championship and the 2010 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, and would then make it to the final of the 2010 World Junior Curling Championships where they lost to Sweden. The following season, Crocker and lead Lynn Kreviazuk joined up with the Clancy Grandy junior rink. With Grandy, Crocker won her second straight provincial championship but finished with a 5-7 record at the 2011 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, missing the playoffs.

While Crocker was finding success with her junior career, she also found success representing Sir Wilfrid Laurier University as a university curler. Crocker won the 2011 CIS/CCA Curling Championships defeating Brock University in the final. In her final year at Laurier, Crocker would repeat her championship, winning in the final of the 2012 CIS/CCA Curling Championships against Brock once again. Crocker graduated that year from Laurier with a BA in Psychology.
