Louis Johannes Slabber (5 March 1935 – 11 May 2003) was a South African international rugby union player.
Slabber was born and raised in the town of Olifantshoek.
A number eight, Slabber played for Bloemfontein club Collegians and was an Orange Free State representative. He was capped for the Junior Springboks against Argentina and in 1965 was a replacement player for the Springboks on their 1965 tour of Australia and New Zealand.
