Niclas Christian Monberg Jensen (born 17 August 1974 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a former Danish professional football player and current football agent. He played as a left back, and most notably won three Danish Superliga championships with F.C. Copenhagen. He played abroad for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, English clubs Manchester City and Fulham F.C., as well as German club Borussia Dortmund. Jensen played 62 games for the Danish national team between 1998 and 2008, representing Denmark at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and 2004 European Championship. He was named 1995 Danish Under-21 Player of the Year.
He is the older brother of Danish national team player Daniel Jensen.
Jensen started playing football for Danish club Boldklubben 1893 (B.93). He moved on to Lyngby Boldklub in the Danish Superliga championship in 1992. He made his Lyngby debut in April 1993. Jensen played a total of 92 games and scored five goals for Lyngby in the Superliga between April 1993 and September 1996.
In the fall of 1996, Jensen was one of several Lyngby players sold by Lyngby CEO Flemming Østergaard. Jensen was one of three Lyngby players sold to Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, alongside Anders Nielsen and Dennis Rommedahl. In his first season at PSV, Jensen played three games as the club won the 1996–97 Eredivisie championship. Jensen played only five games in one and a half seasons at PSV, as he underwent two groin operations, and was used as back-up to Dutch international Arthur Numan.
