Egon Sørensen (16 February 1913 – 25 October 1981) was a Danish amateur football goalkeeper and club manager, who played 18 games for the Denmark national football team. Due to World War II, 6 of his last 9 internationals were matches against Sweden. Sørensen spent his entire club career with BK Frem, playing 237 matches for the club.

Egon Sørensen was a physically strong goalkeeper, able to play as an outfield player. At Frem, he was well trained by the shots of international centre forward Pauli Jørgensen, who later became team coach. Sørensen made his debut for the Danish national team in 1935, and competed with Aksel Daniel Nielsen and Ove Jensen to replace international veteran Svend Jensen. They were all eventually eclipsed by Eigil Nielsen.{{cite book |title=Dansk Fodbold |last=Lundberg |first=Knud |author-link= Knud Lundberg|volume=1.
