Lars "Mads" Jørgensen (born February 10, 1979) is a Danish former professional football (soccer) player, who played as an attacking midfielder and won two Danish Superliga championships and two Danish Cup trophies with Brøndby IF. He started his career with AGF Aarhus, before moving to Brøndby, and abroad to play for A.C. Ancona in Italy and Stabæk Fotball from Norway. He played one match for the Denmark national football team.
He is the younger brother of Danish national team player Martin Jørgensen.
Born in Ørsted, Jørgensen started his career at local club AGF Aarhus in the top-flight Danish Superliga championship. He was selected for the Danish under-19 youth national team in September 1996, and signed a three-year contract with AGF in September 1997. He got his senior debut for AGF in March 1998 and played almost 100 league games for the club which tried to avoid relegation. When his contract ran out in the summer 2001, he left AGF on a free transfer. With his older brother Martin Jørgensen playing in Italian club Udinese Calcio, Mads Jørgensen was reported on his way to a number of Italian clubs, and he was dubbed "Jørgensen Jr." by the Italian sports press. Mads Jørgensen decided to stay in Denmark, moving to league rivals Brøndby IF. Despite his status as a free agent, he demanded that Brøndby pay AGF DKK 1 million in compensation, before signing a two-year contract in June 2001.
