Alexander Jensen (born 24 August 2001) is a Danish footballer who plays as a full back for Allsvenskan club Elfsborg.

Career

Jensen was a youth player in FC Midtjylland until the U15 team, then Vejle BK, where he also made his senior debut, but did not get a senior contract. He was allowed to move on to FC Fredericia. He came to Fredericia as a midfielder, a "number 8", but was given the chance as a fullback when another player Mikkel Knudsen was injured.[2][3]

In the winter break of 2023, Jensen was sold to Swedish club IF Brommapojkarna.[4] Jensen made his Allsvenskan debut in April 2023 against Djurgården. He was regarded as a key player in 2023, playing every single minute of the 2023 Allsvenskan with no substitutions.[5] A move to another club was rumoured after the successful 2023 season.[6][7]

In January 2025 he joined Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen.[8]

On 6 July 2026, Jensen joined Allsvenskan club IF Elfsborg on four-year contract.[9]
