Larson is a former city and current census-designated place in Burke County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 12 at the 2010 census.[4]

Larson was founded in 1907. Both this town and nearby Columbus were named for Columbus Larson, an early postmaster who served the area.[5]

The city government of Larson was dissolved in 2003.[6] Even though it is now an unincorporated community, it was declared a census-designated place as part of the U.S. Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program on March 31, 2010.[2] As a result, it was included in the 2010 census.[7]
