Henrik Andersen (born 7 May 1965) is a Danish former football player, who played eight years at Belgian club RSC Anderlecht as a defender, with whom he won the 1983 UEFA Cup.

He represented Denmark at the 1986 World Cup and the triumphant Euro 1992 tournament, where he suffered a serious knee injury, during the semi-final.

In July 1982, he moved abroad to play for Belgian club RSC Anderlecht in the Jupiler League championship.

Andersen was once more called up to represent Denmark at an international tournament at the Euro 1992, under national manager Richard Møller Nielsen.

In the semi-final against the Netherlands, Andersen collided with Dutch striker Marco van Basten, and cracked his kneecap.
