Helle Jensen (born 23 March 1969) is a Danish former football forward who played for the Denmark women's national football team. She competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics, playing three matches[1] although she was only fit enough to play for half of each match due to a recent recurrence of a knee injury.[2]

Jensen played youth football with B52/Aalborg, before starting her professional career with B1909 in 1989 at 20 years old. Following a period of league dominance by HEI Aarhus, Jensen helped B1909 win the league in 1992 and 1993. She signed with Fortuna Hjørring in 1994 and won the league with the club for three consecutive years, before signing with Japanese club Speranza Osaka (at the time known as Panasonic Bambina LSC). Jensen spent two years with the Japanese side, before returning to Fortuna and winning the league once more in her final season before retiring in 2000 as the then-league season top scorer.[3][4]

Jensen won 77 caps with the Denmark national team and scored 38 goals. She made her national team debut at 18 years old on 20 May 1987 in Sweden.[5] In 2024, Jensen was inducted into the Danish Football Hall of Fame.[6]
