Eugene Laverty (born 3 June 1986 in Ballymena Northern Ireland) is a professional motorcycle road racer, the brother of Michael and John. He currently competes in the 250cc Grand Prix World Championship.

Laverty was runner up in the 2004 British 125cc Championship. He had a successful year in 2006 aboard the Dunlop shod Red Bull Honda CBR600RR. He was a top challenger for the British Supersport title, but finished third overall behind Cal Crutchlow and Tom Sykes, with four wins [1]. He had previously finished 9th overall as a series rookie in 2005.

For 2007, he raced in the 250cc Grand Prix World Championship for LCR Honda[2] finishing in 25th place overall with a best result of 14th. A strong run at Barcelona produced no points due to an engine problem [3].

For 2008 it was expected that he would go back to Britain and further his career in Supersports or Superbikes, but he was signed by Blusens Aprilia on December 18th to continue to race in 250cc with privateer motorcycles[4]. He scored points in China and Portugal, but at Le Mans he crashed at the one remaining wet corner as the circuit dried [5]
