Valdemar Andersen (3 February 1875 – 15 July 1928 in Copenhagen) was a Danish painter, illustrator, graphic designer and decorative artist. He is today best known as a poster artist.

In the 1900s, he was influenced by Art Nouveau. He later developed a simple, clean and personal style which combined advertisement with a more artistic expression.
