Roald Morel Larsen (1 February 1898 – 28 July 1959) was a World Champion speed skater from Norway.

They had four children, all sons: Jaan Harald (1891), Lyder Ragnar (1895), Roald Morel (1898), and Gelgjermo Stone (1899).

This is illustrated by the fact that at none of the six events in which Larsen won an Olympic medal he managed to finish ahead of Thunberg.

After retiring from speed skating, Larsen followed in his father's footsteps and became a full-time glazier.
