Niki Dige Zimling (born 19 April 1985) is a Danish professional football player, who currently plays as a midfielder for Esbjerg fB in the Danish Superliga. He has represented Denmark more than 40 times for various national youth teams, and he was selected for the Danish under-21 national team for the UEFA U-21 Championship 2006.

As a youngster he played for AB 70, Tårnby, Fremad Amager and Kjøbenhavns Boldklub, before he moved to the youth team of Brøndby IF. He was included in Brøndby's senior squad in January 2003, and made his senior debut for Brøndby in April 2003, in a Danish Cup game against Aalborg BK. In the next two years he played a total of 25 matches for the club and scored a single goal, before he moved on to Superliga rivals Esbjerg fB in summer 2005.

He quickly established himself in Esbjerg's starting line-up, and won the 2006 Danish under-21 Talent of the Year award.[1]

On November 20, 2006 he was called up for the league national team, for the trip to the United States, El Salvador and Honduras in January 2007, by national team manager Morten Olsen.
