Anders Hansen (born 16 September 1970) is a Danish golfer.
Hansen turned professional in 1995. It took him a few years to establish himself on the European Tour, with his first top 116 Order of Merit finish (the level a player requires to automatically regain his card) coming in 1999.
His maiden European Tour victory was the 2002 Volvo PGA Championship and he finished in the top 60 on the Order of Merit every year from 2000 to 2007, with a best of sixteenth in 2002. He has featured in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings and has been the highest ranked Danish golfer.
Hansen represented Denmark in the WGC-World Cup in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007.
Hansen qualified for the PGA Tour for 2007, capturing the fourth available spot, eight strokes off the winner, George McNeill.
Hansen had six top 10's in 2006 including a 3rd at the Dubai Desert Classic, playing the two final days in the leaderball with Tiger Woods and Retief Goosen, and a second at the Italian Open for the second straight year.
His second European tour victory came when he won the 2007 BMW PGA Championship, the same tournament where he claimed his first victory five years before.
