Poul Ebbesen Pedersen (31 October 1932 – 23 December 2016), simply known as Poul Pedersen, was a Danish amateur football (soccer) player, who won a silver medal with the Denmark national football team at the 1960 Summer Olympics.
Pedersen played the position of inside forward for AIA but was moved out as an outside winger when representing the Danish national team.
He was a box-to-box midfielder, often making last-ditch saves as a defender before sprinting the length of the field to participate in attacking moves.
At the 1960 Olympics, Pedersen played in the position of right winger on the Danish team, often linking up with right halfback Bent Hansen.
Later that month, Denmark lost 1-5 to the West Germany national football team and Pedersen's international career underwent a three-year hiatus.
