Project Laurens Janszoon Coster is a collection of Dutch high literature on the web. Its name is sometimes abbreviated to Project Laurens Jansz. Coster or simply Project Coster. It is named after Project Gutenberg and after Laurens Janszoon Coster, an early European printer, of whom there is some doubt as to his actual existence.

Project Coster was founded and run by Marc van Oostendorp. It was started on 14 June 1995, although before that time a project collecting public domain works was already current on Usenet. Whether it is still active is uncertain; the latest news posted on the site is dated 2001.
