Krzysztof Ratajski, known as The Polish Eagle, is a Polish darts player based in Warsaw. Born on 1 January 1977, he was 19th on the PDC Order of Merit when the rankings were last published on 2 November 2026, with £495,250 in ranking prize money over the two-year period the list covers. The PDC credits him with 12 senior titles, all of them won on the ProTour, and before joining the PDC circuit he won the 2017 World Masters while competing in the British Darts Organisation.

Ratajski won his first PDC ranking titles in October 2018, taking Players Championships 21 and 22 on consecutive days with final wins over Chris Dobey and Adrian Lewis. His first European Tour title came at the 2019 Gibraltar Darts Trophy, where he beat Dave Chisnall 8-2. He reached the semi-finals of the 2021 World Matchplay, losing 17-9 to Dimitri Van den Bergh, and has twice reached the quarter-finals of the World Championship, in 2021 and 2026. He won the 2023 German Darts Open with an 8-3 win over Stephen Bunting and the 2025 Players Championship 15 with an 8-4 win over Chisnall. In July 2026 he won the European Darts Open, beating Jermaine Wattimena 8-6 in the final.

At the 2026 European Championship he beat Chisnall 6-2, Kevin Doets 10-8 and Luke Littler 10-6 before an 11-6 semi-final defeat to Martin Schindler. Earlier in the autumn he had lost 2-1 in sets to Jonny Clayton in the first round of the World Grand Prix and 6-5 to Niels Zonneveld at the Dutch Darts Championship. The PDC records two nine-dart finishes for him across all of its events, one of them in senior competition. He throws 24-gram Beazd darts and walks on to "Whatever You Want" by Status Quo.
