Hjalte Bidstrup (born 15February 2006) is a Danish footballer who currently plays for Viborg in the Danish Superliga.

Club career Bidstrup moved from HB Køge at the age of 12 to join Copenhagen. He spent more than seven years in the club's youth academy, making eight appearances during the youth team's 2023–24 UEFA Youth League campaign, where he scored one goal in a 6–0 win over Galatasaray on 12 December 2023. During Copenhagen's 2024–25 season, he made three match-day squad lists for the first team, though he was an unused substitution in each of those occasions.

On 3February 2025, it was announced that Bidstrup had moved to Viborg, citing his desire for first-team football. He agreed with the club to a contract through to the summer of 2029, which included a clause in which Copenhagen may match future transfer offers. He made his debut for the club on 2 March, coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 league victory over Vejle. During the team's 2025–26 season, he was moved to left-back as teammate Jean-Manuel Mbom frequently played as right-back. On 1 March 2026, he scored his first goal for Viborg in a 2–1 win over FC Nordsjælland. His goal was the match winner, and secured Viborg a place in the 2025–26 Danish Superliga Championship round. He became a regular starter for the Viborg first-team during his first full season, appearing in 27 of Viborg's 32 Superliga games with onegoal.

International career Bidstrup made his international debut for the Denmark U17 team on 4 August 2022 in a 12–0 victory over Northern Ireland U17. On 11 February 2023, he scored his first goal for the U17 team in a 4–4 draw against Croatia U17.
