Klaus Berggreen (born February 3, 1958) is a Danish former football player, who most prominently played for Italian clubs Pisa and A.S. Roma. He played 46 matches and scored five goals for the Danish national team, and he represented his country at the 1986 World Cup and two European Championship tournaments.
Born in Virum, he started playing football at nearby club Lyngby Boldklub at the age of six. He made his senior debut in 1975, in a Lyngby team which struggled to establish itself in the secondary Danish 2nd Division league. Berggreen was Lyngby's top goalscorer in several seasons, and scored 15 goals when the club won promotion for the top-flight Danish 1st Division in 1979. He made his Danish national team debut in August 1979, in the first game of newly appointed national manager Sepp Piontek. He played one more national team game, before his international career went on a hiatus.
In 1982, he moved abroad to play for newly promoted club SC Pisa in the Italian Serie A championship. Berggreen helped the club stay in the Serie A, and was recalled to the Danish national team in October 1982. In the 1983-84 Serie A season, Pisa were relegated into the Serie B, but Berggreen chose to stay with the club. He was selected to compete for the Danish national team at the 1984 European Championship, where he played four matches, and scored a goal in the 5-0 victory against Yugoslavia. In the semi-final against Spain, Berggreen was sent off in injury time, as Denmark were eliminated on penalty shootout.
