Ulrich Østergaard (born 19 April 1981 in Odense, Denmark) ^[1], is a speedway rider in the United Kingdom, riding with the Reading Racers in the Premier League.

He initially came to the United Kingdom for a trial with the Trelawny Tigers in 2002 and impressed the management as they offered a contract immediately. However the BSPA did not ratify the deal due to the complex points limit in operation that season. Ulrich was eventually signed by the Eastbourne Eagles to ride in the ill-fated British League Cup during 2003.

2004 saw Ulrich gain his first full time UK ride with the Isle of Wight Islanders, where he stayed for two seasons, doubling up with the Eastbourne Eagles in the Elite League.

In 2006 he was signed by the Peterborough Panthers, winning the Elite League title. 2007 saw Ulrich step down a division to ride for the Birmingham Brummies but after falling out with the management he signed for the Workington Comets.

Østergaard signed for the Reading Racers in 2008 for the start of their new season back in the Premier League after a two year stint in the Elite League (under the names Reading Bulldogs and Racers), he came in on a 8.27 average, filling the number three spot on the Racers line up.
