Brian Bach Vandborg (born 12 April 1981 in Snejbjerg) is a Danish professional road bicycle racer, who rides for UCI Continental cycling team Team GLS. He was national U/23 champion in individual time trial in 2002 and 2003 and in 2004 he signed his first professional contract with Team CSC, with a length of two years. He won stage 4 of Tour de Georgia in 2005, his first professional victory, but the rest of his season was ruined due to a case of mononucleosis.

In 2006, Vandborg became a national champion by capturing the Danish Individual Time Trial Championship ; he later finished fourth at the World Time Trial Championship. Vandborg moved to Discovery Channel for the 2007 season.
