Henrik "Tømrer" Pedersen (born June 10, 1975) is a Danish professional football player who currently plays for Bolton Wanderers F.C. as a forward. He has played three games for the Danish national team.

Pedersen started his career with Danish club Silkeborg IF in 1995. He made his debut for the Danish national team in an August 2000 game against the Faroe Islands. He finished the second most scoring player of the 2000-01 Superliga season and helped Silkeborg win the 2001 Danish Cup trophy. In a race for his signature, Sam Allardyce signed Pedersen on July 3, 2001. He made his debut appearance on August 18, 2001 as a second-half substitute for Ricardo Gardner and scored his debut goal in a 4-3 League Cup victory against Walsall F.C. on September 11, 2001, when he come on as a second-half substitute for Gareth Farrelly.

Struggling with his performances in the English Premiership, he went on loan back to Silkeborg IF, to aid their fight against relegation in the last part of the 2001-02 season. He returned to Bolton for the 2002-03 season. He has since become an important part of the Bolton squad and at the start of the 2005-06 season he showed his versatility by playing at left-back in an emergency. He is known for his "peacock" goal celebration, a treat he developed with fellow Danish player Martin Retov.
