Niels-Christian Holmstrøm (born 23 February 1947) is a Danish former football player, manager, chief consultant in Team Danmark and sports director of Danish football club F.C. Copenhagen. Currently he is the chairman of Kjøbenhavns Boldklub and a "special consultant" for F.C. Copenhagen.
In his active career, Holmstrøm played the position of striker, guiding Kjøbenhavns Boldklub to two Danish Championships. He also played professionally for ADO Den Haag and HFC Haarlem in the Netherlands, and French club Girondins de Bordeaux. He played 15 A nationals and scored four goals for the Danish national team.
Born in Copenhagen, he started his career at Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB), where he was the top goal-scorer in the Danish championship in 1968 as he guided the club to its 13th championship trophy. In 1969, he moved abroad to play professionally for Dutch clubs ADO Den Haag and HFC Haarlem. His professional career was quickly over, as he suffered a career-ending injury and was declared medically unfit to play football.
He refused to end his career, and returned to play for KB. In 1974, he repeated his 1968 feat, as he was league top-scorer in KB's 14th Danish championship win. Following that season, he won the 1974 Danish Footballer of the Year award. He moved abroad once more in 1974 to play for FC Girondins de Bordeaux in France, and stayed with the club until his retirement in 1977.
