Børge Carlo Mathiesen (May 16, 1918 – December 25, 1962) was a Danish football player, who played six years as a professional in French and Spanish clubs. He played 11 games and scored one goal for the Denmark national football team.[3] Mathiesen was a short but strong midfielder with great stamina and a dangerous shot on goal.[4] He died in a car accident.[4]

Born in Copenhagen,[5] Mathiesen started his playing career as an amateur with B 1903. He played for the amateur-only Danish national team between 1937 and 1945. As he signed a professional contract in 1947, he was banned from the national team. He moved to France to play for Stade Français. In 1949, he moved to Spain where he played for Atlético Madrid and Racing de Santander. He ended his career in France, playing for Le Havre AC from 1951 to 1953.
