Andreas Bjelland (born 11 July 1988) is a retired Danish-Norwegian professional footballer who played as a centre-back for a number of clubs in Denmark, the Netherlands and England.

Bjelland began his professional career in his homeland with Lyngby and established himself in the top division of Danish football with FC Nordsjælland.

[3] A centre back, Bjelland began his career in his homeland with Fredensborg BI and BSV,[4] before moving into the youth system at Superliga club Lyngby in 2001.

[5] Financial problems at the stricken club saw the Royal Blues relegated to the Danmarksserien, but by the time Bjelland made his senior debut in September 2006,[6] they had risen back to the 1st Division.

[7] On 6 November 2011, it was announced that Bjelland had signed a four-year contract (with the option of a further year) with Dutch Eredivisie club FC Twente, effective from the beginning of the 2012–13 season.

[7] On 2 July 2015, Bjelland moved to England to sign a three-year contract with Championship club Brentford for a club-record €3 million fee.

[12][13] After recovering from a groin injury suffered in pre-season,[14] Bjelland made his debut for the club with a start in a League Cup first round match versus Oxford United on 11 August.

[16][17] Bjelland returned to full-contact training in late April 2016 and despite missing part of the 2016–17 pre-season with an abductor strain,[18] he entered the regular season fit.

[21][24] Bjelland deputised for the absent Harlee Dean early in the 2017–18 season scored his first Brentford goal in a 4–3 defeat to Nottingham Forest 12 August 2017.

[25] After Dean's departure at the end of the summer transfer window,[26] Bjelland continued as an automatic pick for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.

[7][40] Bjelland appeared sparingly during the first half of the 2024–25 season and in November 2024,[7] he stood in for assistant head coach Mikkel Beckmann, who was suspended from the touchline.

[44] He received his second call up 11 months later, when he was selected for a pair of Euro 2012 qualifiers against Cyprus and Portugal, in which he started and helped the team to wins.

[44] Following Euro 2012,[11] a metatarsal injury suffered on club duty with Twente saw Bjelland miss a year of international football and he made his return in a 2–1 friendly win over Georgia on 5 June 2013.

[44] Bjelland was included in Denmark’s preliminary squad for the 2018 World Cup,[48] but was not named in the final selection, due to injury.
