Dorian van Rijsselberghe (born 24 November 1988 in Den Burg) is a sailor from the Netherlands.

He won his first Dutch title when he was 13.

Van Rijsselberghe on the Dutch RS:X won the gold medals at the 2012 Olympics in Weymouth, and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Van Rijsselberghe is a student at CIOS. Van Rijsselberghe is married and has a daughter.

Van Rijsselberghe dominated the competition completely by finishing first among the 38 competitors in 7 out of 10 races, second twice and third once. After the ninth race, he had accumulated a sufficient lead over the second placed Nick Dempsey to be certain to win the gold medal – as long as he competed in the remaining races – irrespective of his results in the 10th race and in the medal race.
