Halfdan Rasmussen (January 29, 1915 in Copenhagen - March 2, 2002) was a Danish poet.

He was a resistance fighter during the German occupation and became a well known poet often writing about social issues and human rights. One of his poems, Ikke Bødlen, was featured as one of the best poems on Human Rights on a 1979 book published by Amnesty International Denmark, and would be later translated into the first verse of Roger Waters' song Each Small Candle.
