Morten Ørum Madsen (born 9 April 1988) is a Danish professional golfer who currently plays on the European Tour.

Madsen was born in Silkeborg. He took up golf at the age of 12,[1] and enjoyed a successful amateur career during which he played in the Eisenhower Trophy[2] while attending Oregon State University. He turned professional in 2011 and promptly won twice on the third-tier Nordic League, earning a place on the Challenge Tour. A consistent second season saw Madsen earn promotion to the full European Tour for 2013. He finished 19th in the Challenge Tour rankings, but slightly improved his status with a T16 at European Tour Q School.

On 24 November 2013, he won the South African Open Championship by a margin of two strokes.
