Søren Thomas Busk (born April 10, 1953) is a former Danish international football defender. He scored 2 goals in his 61 international appearances, and played in Euro 1984 and Euro 1988.

Busk usually played either right-back or central defence. In the 1984 European Championships he operated as a right-back in Denmark's first three games against France, Yugoslavia and Belgium, but switched to the other flank for the Danes' dramatic semi-final against Spain in Lyon, with John Sivebæk coming in on the other side of the defence.

He also lined out at the 1986 World Cup. He played well in the first round as Denmark topped the group, but endured a torrid time during their second-round 5-1 defeat by Spain, and conceded one of the two penalties given away by the Danes in the second half.

At club level he played for Glostrup IC, Westfalia Herne, MVV Maastricht, K.A.A. Gent, AS Monaco, Wiener SC and Herfølge BK.
