Kasper Risgård (born January 4, 1983) is a Danish professional football (soccer) defender and midfielder, who currently plays for Danish Superliga side Aalborg Boldspilklub (AaB).

Risgård was introduced to top flight football late in the 2002-03 season when AaB surprisingly found themselves struggling in the bottom of the table. Risgård made some fine displays, including a goal in the DONG Cup semifinal against Brøndby IF and a vital winner against Køge BK.

During the next seasons Risgård fell further away from the team and was eventually loaned out to local rivals FC Nordjylland. When he returned to AaB he remained a substitute but due to many injuries, Risgård got a new chance as central defender in the end of the 2005-06 season, where he played well for half a year before being moved once again in the fall of 2007. This time Aalborg BK coach Erik Hamrén moved him to a position as a defensive midfielder, where he proved himself an important first team player. Due to a series of impressive performances as a defensive midfielder in both the Danish Superliga and the UEFA Cup danish national coach Morten Olsen brought him into the the danish national league squad.
