Lars-Börje Eriksson (born October 21, 1966 in Åre ) is a former Swedish ski racer . In the late 1980s and early 1990s he was one of the most successful super-G and giant slalom runners in the world.

At the beginning of his career, Eriksson, who was almost 22 at the time, celebrated one of his greatest successes: the bronze medal in the Super-G at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary . In addition, he celebrated two victories in the Ski World Cup . In training for the World Cup descent from Val Gardena (Italy), Eriksson was seriously injured in a fall in December 1990, although he competed in the 1991 World Championships (where he injured himself again in downhill training), he never returned to the World Cup.
