Steffen Højer (born 22 May 1973) is a Danish former football player, who played most of his career for Viborg FF. He has played for a number of Danish clubs, and most notably won the 1998-99 Danish Superliga with AaB. A prolific striker in the Superliga, he finished league top scorer three years in row in the 2003-04 (joint), 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. He has played a single match for the Danish national team.
Højer started on January 7, 2008, the day of his retirement, as head of sport in Viborg FF.
Born in Viborg, Højer made his senior debut for hometown club Viborg FF in the Danish 1st Division in 1992. Through four years at the club, Højer and Viborg struggled to get a foothold in the top-flight Danish Superliga. When they succeeded in the 1995-96 season, Højer scored 16 goals in 32 games, and was sold to league rivals Aalborg Boldspilklub (AaB). He made his debut for the Danish national team, when he was substituted into an August 1996 match against Sweden for the last ten minutes of play. He was an immediate success at AaB, though he did not score as many goals as he did for Viborg FF. In his final year of contract at AaB, he helped the club win the 1998-99 Danish championship. He did not play much that season due to stiff competition from Norwegian player Frank Strandli and fellow Dane Søren Frederiksen, which prompted Højer to look for a new club.
