Rutger Koppelaar (Dutch: [ˈrʏtxər ˈkɔpəlaːr]; born 1 May 1993) is a Dutch athlete specialising in the pole vault. He represented his country at the 2019 World Championships in Doha without qualifying for the final. He qualified for the finals at the Europeans (Münich) in 2022 and got a 4th place with a height of 5.75m.

His personal bests in the event are 5.81m (outdoors, 2022) and 5.82m (indoors, 2023).

Koppelaar served a two year competition ban ending in July 2016 in relation to an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for excessive testosterone at an event in Germany in May 2014. Koppelaar appealed the ruling, but was unsuccessful.
