Søren Kragh Andersen is Danish professional cyclist who races for the Alpecin-Deceuninck team.

Kragh Andersen is a two-time Tour de France stage winner who has also won Paris-Tours and several other high-profile races. A strong all-rounder, he has competed for top honours in the Spring Classics and stages within the Grand Tours.

A talented junior and U23 rider, Kragh Andersen turned professional with Giant-Alpecin in 2016. In his second full season, the Danish rider won a world title with his trade team in the team time trial at the UCI World Championships held in Bergen, Norway. During that year he also won a stage in the Tour of Oman and finished second in Paris-Tours.

In 2018 Kragh Andersen won a stage in the Tour de Suisse before making his Tour de France debut a month later. He took his biggest one-day win at Paris-Tours in the second half of the season.

He would go without a win in 2019 but bounced back the following year with third in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad at the start of the season and then going on to win two stages of the Tour de France. He also won a stage apiece in Paris-Nice and the BinckBank Tour.

At the end of the 2022 season, Kragh Andersen signed a two-year deal with Alpecin-Deceuninck. While 2023 had its ups and downs, the Dane was able to win his second WorldTour one-day race at Eschborn-Frankfurt from a breakaway.
