Nicolai Brock-Madsen (born 9 January 1993) is a Danish professional footballer who plays for Dutch Eredivisie club PEC Zwolle, on loan from English Championship club Birmingham City. A forward, he previously spent five seasons with Randers FC, and represented Denmark at levels up to under-21 and at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Brock-Madsen signed a three-year contract with his hometown club, Randers FC, and scored his first goal in a Europa League match against F91 Dudelange which ended 6–1.
In the 2012-13 season Brock-Madsen was a vital part of the Randers team that ended third in the league, playing a total of 28 league games and forming an attacking duo with Randers top-scorer Ronnie Schwartz. Brock-Madsen also helped the team reach the cup final where they lost to 0-1 to Esbjerg FB.
On 21 August 2015, Brock-Madsen signed a four-year deal with English Football League Championship (second-tier) club Birmingham City. The fee was undisclosed, but was believed by the BBC to be "in the region of £500,000, with possible add-ons taking it up to £1m." He made his debut four days later, as a second-half substitute in Birmingham's 2–0 League Cup win against Gillingham. He made his first appearance in the Football League on 15 September, again as a substitute, playing alongside Clayton Donaldson as Birmingham failed to come back from 1–0 down at home to Nottingham Forest in what was their first defeat of the season.
