Juha Lauri Laukkanen (born 6 January 1969 in Pielavesi) is a retired male javelin thrower from Finland.

His personal best throw is 88.22 metres, achieved in June 1992 in Kuortane.

Remarkably, two of Laukkanen's throws have resulted in injuries to officials. In the 1994 Bislett Games in Oslo his throw resulted in a judge being impaled in his arm by the javelin. In 1998 at an athletics festival in Riederich, Germany another one of his throws seriously injured an official when it pierced him in the stomach.
