Larry Emdur (born 9 December 1964) is an Australian Gold Logie award winning television presenter.

Emdur is currently co-host of The Morning Show alongside Kylie Gillies, and host of The Chase Australia.

The duo also hosted the Australian version of Celebrity Splash!. Emdur hosted the Australian version of game show The Price Is Right on the Nine Network from 1993 to 1998, and from 2003 to 2005 and, then again, when the show returned to the Seven Network on 7 May 2012.

He has also hosted Celebrity Dog School on Network Ten.

Emdur grew up in a Jewish family near the beach in Bondi, New South Wales, and developed a keen interest in surfing from an early age.
