Wessel Nijman (born 26 June 2000) is a Dutch professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He won his first ranking PDC title at 2024 Players Championship 24.
Following a match-fixing scandal in 2020 that saw him banned from the sport for two and a half years, Nijman returned to competitive darts in 2023. He finished third on the 2023 PDC Development Tour ranking, which led to him making his PDC World Championship debut at the 2024 edition, as well as earning a PDC Tour Card.
In his youth career, Nijman won twelve PDC Development Tours and reached the semi-finals at the 2023 PDC World Youth Championship, making him one of the most successful players in the history of the PDC’s youth system.
