'''Lars Vågberg''' (born 30 June 1967 in [[Sollefteå]], [[Sweden]]) is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[curling|curler]] from [[Bærum]].

Vågberg began his international curling career in [[Sweden]]. In his first international tournament, he was the second [[Mikael Hasselborg]]'s 1990 [[European Curling Championships]] winning team. With Hasselborg, he would finish 7th at the [[World Curling Championships]] in 1992 and won a bronze medal at the 1994 European Championships.

By 1997 Vågberg had moved to Norway. The 1997 World Championships would be the first for Vågberg as a Norwegian, and he played third for [[Pål Trulsen]]. While they finished 7th that year, the team would later go on to win two bronze medals (2001, 2003) and a silver (2002) at the Worlds. Most notably however was their victory at the [[2002 Winter Olympics]] when they defeated [[Canada]]s' [[Kevin Martin (curler)|Kevin Martin]] in the final. The team added to their success with their first gold medal at the European Championships in 2005.

In 2010 (and before), Lars works at Belset Skole in Bærum, as a physical education teacher and advisor.

In 1995 he was inducted into the [[Swedish Curling Hall of Fame]].
