Bjørn Paulsen (born 2 July 1991) is a Danish footballer who currently plays for Swedish Allsvenskan side Hammarby IF.
Paulsen started his youth career in local clubs Midtals, Haderslev and Sønderborg. He would later move on to start his professional career at SønderjyskE in the Superliga, making his senior debut for the club in 2009, at age 18. During the following five seasons he made 155 appearances for the side, scoring 17 goals.
Before the start of the 2015-16 season he was transferred to Esbjerg fB in the same league. Reports suggested a fee of 5 million Danish kroner (approximately £0,6 million), as Paulsen signed a four year-contract.
During the upcoming one and a half year, he played 45 competitive games for Esbjerg, scoring 5 goals. During the midseason of 2016-17 he left the side, moving abroad for the first time in his career, joining the Swedish club Hammarby IF on 16 January 2017.
He signed a three year-deal with the -based side whilst reconnecting with his former manager from SønderjyskE, Jakob Michelsen. The fee was reported as being 1,6 million Danish kroner (approximately £0,2 million).
On 9 April 2017, he scored his first competitive goal for Hammarby. Paulsen scored a late equalizer as Hammarby drew 1-1 with Kalmar FF on the second match day of Allsvenskan. On match day 6, Paulsen scored a brace as Hammarby defeated the newly promoted side AFC Eskilstuna in a 4-0–win.
Paulsen prefers to play as a central defender. However, he has been known as a utility player throughout his whole career in Denmark, making appearances in almost every outfield position during his time with both SønderjyskE and Esbjerg.
