For the Danish Olympic cyclist, see Hans Christian Nielsen (cyclist).

Hans Christian Wedelsted Nielsen (10 May 1928 – 5 March 1990) was a Danish amateur association football defender.[1] He played 25 matches for the Danish national team from May 1958 to June 1961, and won a silver medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics.[2] Born in Odder, Hansen started his career at Odder IGF but would spend most of his career with nearby top-flight club Aarhus Gymnastikforening (AGF).[3][4]

After ending his playing career, Nielsen worked as a salesman, and was a lifelong volunteer in the AGF youth department.[5] He died on 5 March 1990 in Aarhus.[3]
