Dace Ruskule (born September 20, 1981) is a retired Latvian discus thrower.[1] She represented her nation Latvia at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and later became a titleholder in women's discus throw at the 2006 NCAA Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, California, representing her collegiate team Nebraska Cornhuskers in the United States.[2][3]

Ruskule qualified for the women's discus throw at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by achieving a personal best of 59.68 from the Latvian Championships in Riga.[4] She threw a discus with a satisfying distance of 57.43 metres on her second attempt in the prelims, but fell short to compete for the final round with a twenty-eighth overall place effort.[5][6]
