Lukas Dauser (born 15 June 1993) is a German male artistic gymnast and a three-time Olympian, having competed at the 2016, 2020, and 2024 Olympic Games. He is the 2023 World Champion and the 2020 Olympic and 2022 World silver medalist on the parallel bars.

Dauser became a member of the first German gymnastics league at the age of 19. He formerly trained in Berlin, although he represented two gymnastics clubs – TSV Unterhaching and KTV Straubenhardt from Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.

Dauser's major international debut came at the 2014 World Championships in Nanjing, PRC. There, he placed eighth as a member of the German squad in the team all-around tournament. On that same year, Dauser performed a new element on the parallel bars during the Challenge Cup in Anadia, Portugal. Due to its complexity, the International Gymnastics Federation officially named an element on the parallel bars after him, involving a giant swing backward with Makuts to upper arm hang.

In 2016, Dauser became the national champion on parallel bars, scoring even more points than Marcel Nguyen, the country's previous leader on parallel bars. At the pre-Olympic qualification, the German team ranked first, with Dauser capping off the meet in fourth position on the parallel bars. On 10 July, Andreas Hirsch, head coach of the German national team, proposed that Dauser would be included in the national team to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. There, Dauser, along with the German quintet of Andreas Bretschneider, Fabian Hambüchen, Marcel Nguyen, and Andreas Toba, scored a total of 261.275 points to take the seventh position in the team all-around final.

Dauser competed at various All-Around World Cups in 2017, eventually winning bronze in London behind Oleg Verniaiev and Donnell Whittenburg. At the 2017 European Championships Dauser won silver on parallel bars behind Verniaiev. During the German national championships in June Dauser tore his ACL and was unable to compete for the remainder of the year.

Dauser returned to competition at the 2018 World Championships where he finished 24th in the all-around and eighth on parallel bars. He next competed at the Cottbus World Cup where he finished eighth on parallel bars.

In April 2019 Dauser competed at the European Championships; he was the second reserve for the parallel bars final. At the 2019 World Championships Dauser once again finished eighth on parallel bars.

Most competitions in 2020 were either canceled or postponed, including the 2020 Summer Olympics, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the 2021 European Championships Dauser won bronze on the parallel bars behind Ferhat Arıcan and David Belyavskiy.
