Johan Absalonsen (born September 16, 1985) is a Danish football player, who plays for the Danish Superliga club Odense Boldklub (OB). He has played 42 matches for various Danish national youth teams, and in May 2006 he was selected for the Denmark under-21 national team squad for UEFA U-21 Championship 2006 tournament.

Born in Flemløse, Absalonsen started playing football for local clubs, before he entered the youth scheme of B 1913. After making his debut for the Danish under-15 national team in 2000, and playing two senior matches for B 1913, Absalonsen moved to the reserve team of defending Danish champions Brøndby IF in 2002. He made his Brøndby senior debut in the February 2004 UEFA Cup home game against FC Barcelona. He was a part of The Double winning team of the 2004-05 season, but as he struggled to claim a starting position in the team, he moved to league rivals Odense Boldklub (OB) in summer 2006, where he has now claimed a position as a first time regular.
