Jørn "Jønke" Nielsen (born June 5, 1960 in Gladsaxe) is a Danish mobster and high-ranking Hells Angels member.
Nielsen's criminal career began in 1975 when he was arrested for fighting at a bar as a 15-year-old. In 1978, he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for stabbing another man in a bar. He bought his first motorcycle in 1978 and when he was released from prison in 1980, he founded the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club's first Danish chapter in Copenhagen.
In 1984, Nielsen murdered Henning Norbert Knudsen ("Makrel"), President of Bullshit MC. He then fled to Canada but was apprehended and given a sixteen year prison sentence. He was transferred to a Danish prison in 1988 and in 1996, attempts were made on his life by Bandidos members. He was released in 2000 but was put back into prison the following year after the death of a man at an Aalborg nightclub. He was sentenced to four years in prison.
In December 2007, Nielsen was attacked and stabbed in the streets of Nørrebro. During the ensuing fight the perpetrator was also stabbed, and consequently Nielsen was arrested. He remained in custody until October 2008. On February 6, 2009, Nielsen was acquitted of aggravated assault.
