Ulrik Mathisen (born 15 January 1999) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as midfielder for the Eliteserien club Brann.[2]

Mathisen played youth football for Skeid and Vålerenga. He was not given a chance for Vålerenga's senior team, and was "almost thrown out" of the club. He therefore started his senior career in Kjelsås. Playing on the third tier, he had to do something on the side and studied at Oslo Metropolitan University. He joined Lillestrøm from Kjelsås in 2020, taking steps to become a full-time footballer. He helped win promotion from the 2020 1. divisjon.[3] Later, Mathisen stated that his development was delayed by growing pains.[4]

Despite playing 21 Eliteserien matches in 2021, Lillestrøm did not need the player in 2022 and loaned him out to Sogndal.[5] Ahead of the 2023 season he was signed by SK Brann.[6] One of his notable moments in Brann was scoring against Lillestrøm in 2023.[7] He was briefly hospitalized in April 2024 following an on-pitch accident, missing several matches due to concussion.[8][9]
