Morten Pedersen (born April 12, 1972) is a Norwegian football player, playing as defender.
Pedersen is currently playing for Tromsø I.L., where he returned in 2003 after having played for various professional Norwegian and foreign clubs. Pedersen started his cereer playing for Storsteinnes I.L., before going to the Danish club Brøndby IF in 1990. His stint at Brøndby IF was not successful, and he only got to play one match during the two years he stayed at the club. In 1992 he returned to Norway to play for Tromsø I.L.. Pedersen stayed with Tromsø I.L. until 1996, when he transferred to S.K. Brann. Pedersen only spent one year, playing regularly for Brann, before trying his luck abroad for a second time, this time with German Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach. His career in Germany proved to be as unsuccessful as his career in Denmark, however, and he returned to Norway one year later to play with Rosenborg B.K., where he won the Tippeligaen. After a year at Rosenborg B.K., he made a third and final attempt at establishing a career as a foreign professional, going to Belgian side K.A.A. Gent. At K.A.A. Gent, which at that moment was coached by a fellow Norwegian, Trond Sollied, Pedersen finally got regular playing time, and his time at the club proved very successful. Pedersen played with K.A.A. Gent for some seasons before returning to Tromsø I.L. in 2003, the same year that Ole Martin Årst also returned to Tromsø I.L. from Belgium.
Pedersen also played for Vålerenga I.F. Fotball for a while, on a loan.
