Il Premio Laurence Olivier per l'eccellenza nella danza (Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance) è un riconoscimento teatrale che premia i migliori ballerini, coreografi o compagnie che si esibiscono sulle scene londinesi.
Il premio nacque nel 1976 con il nome di Society of West End Theatre Awards, poi ribattezzato in onore di Laurence Olivier nel 1984. Il nome originale del premio era Laurence Olivier Award per l'eccellenza nel balletto, poi cambiato con il nome attuale nel 1986.
