Mensur Suljović (Serbian Cyrillic: Менсур Суљовић) (born March 12, 1972 in Tutin) is a Serbian-born Austrian darts player. He moved to Vienna in 1993 and learnt darts in his brother's café there. He plays in Professional Darts Corporation events having previously played in the British Darts Organisation. He was also one of the top players in the German Darts Corporation where he won three events in 2007. He is nicknamed The Gentle and is also noted for his unorthodox throwing action and favouring double 14 as his finishing double where possible. Suljović is the number one Austrian player in the PDC and reached his first final in 2016 at the European Championship.

He first appeared at the Winmau World Masters in 1999, reaching the last 16. He defeated Ronnie Baxter before losing to eventual winner Andy Fordham. Two years later he went one step further, beating Colin Monk and Martin Adams en route to the quarter finals, losing to Raymond van Barneveld, who like Andy Fordham in 1999, went on to win the tournament. He made his only BDO World Darts Championship appearance in 2002, beating quickfire Dutchman Vincent van der Voort in round one, but lost in the last 16 to Mervyn King. He made one more appearance at the World Masters in 2003, but lost in the Last 64 stage to Welshman John Burton.

Suljović qualified for the 2008 PDC World Darts Championship through the German Darts Corporation Order of Merit. He defeated Andy Smith in round one but lost in the second round to eventual winner John Part. He then qualified for the inaugural European Darts Championship where he beat Roland Scholten in the first round, but lost in the second round to Robert Thornton.
