Kasper Wellemberg Lorentzen (born November 19, 1985) is a Danish professional footballer, currently playing for Brøndby IF as a midfielder or forward. He has represented various Danish youth national football teams, playing a combined 58 matches and scoring 20 goals, most recently for the Danish under-21 national team.
As a youngster he played for BK Frem and Rosenhøj IF, where he played alongside later Brøndby teammembers Daniel Agger and Henrik Kildentoft, as well as Michael Krohn-Dehli. He moved to the youth team of Brøndby IF, and got his first team debut for Brøndby in November 2003. Lorentzen was moved to the senior squad of Brøndby in 2004, and for the 2005-06 season he was touted to get his breakthrough by the media, who viewed him as a coming star player for Brøndby. In November 2005, he scored the winning goal for the Danish under-21 national team against the Russia under-21 team in Russia. This gave Denmark the perfect starting point before the re-match at Brøndby Stadion in Denmark, which resulted in a 3-1 victory that gave Denmark a ticket for the UEFA U-21 Championship 2006 tournament.
Due to injuries, Lorentzen only played 19 games and scored six goals in the 2005-06 season, and he also missed out on the UEFA U-21 Championship in May 2006. He again suffered injuries in the opening of the 2006-07 season.
