Thomas Augustinussen (born March 20, 1981) is a Danish professional footballer. He started his career as a striker, but currently plays the role of centre midfielder.

Due to his height of 192 cm and good speed, Augustinussen played his first years as a striker, capped 20 times for the U/21 Danish national team, with 5 goals the result. But as he only managed to score a relative low amount of goals for his club AaB Aalborg, Augustinussen was soon stamped by media pundit Jens Jørgen Brinch as "not being the fastest moped on the dockside" ("ikke den hurtigste knallert på havnen"), and his talent didn't look to cut it at the highest sporting level of the country. Augustinussen was moved back to the centre midfield, where he has been a consistent part of the team.
