Patrik Jensen (born 24 November 1969) is a Swedish guitarist and co-founder of the bands, The Haunted (1996–present),[2] and Witchery (1997–present),[3] and also the former guitarist of the bands Orchriste (1987-1990), Seance (1990-1995)[4] Satanic Slaughter (1994-1996)[5] and Brujeria (1997).

Jensen was raised in Edmonton, until he was 10.[6]

Jensen received his first guitar when he was seven years old, but started playing when he was sixteen years old - he took guitar lessons for five years thereafter. Jensen plays his signature E1.6 Jensen from Solar Guitars[1] and uses Engl amplification and EMG pick-ups (85/81).

In 2013, Jensen played some live shows with In Flames for Niclas Engelin, when Engelin was unable to play, due to becoming a father.[7]

As of 2021 Jensen serves as a part time touring guitarist for The Halo Effect replacing Jesper Stromblad when he is unable to play due to ongoing illness. [8]
