Morten Skoubo (born 30 June, 1980) is a Danish professional footballer. Skoubo's strength on the playing field is most notably his physical strength, height and heading power, making him a typical targetman in attack.

Skoubo started his career in childhood club Struer. From 1999 to 2003 he played for Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland, until prolific German club Borussia Mönchengladbach wanted him in the team, and Skoubo made the switch. His career in Germany never took off, so Gladbach put him out on loan at English team West Bromwich Albion, however he was back at Gladbach again after six months. In 2004 Danish top club Brøndby IF wanted to transfer Skoubo off of the German team, and he made a return to the Superliga.

In Brøndby he became an instant succes, and formed a partnership of Swedish international Johan Elmander, with Skoubo the targetman and Elmander playing in the hole.

He has played two games for the Danish national team.
