Ferdinand Julius Jørgensen (20 June 1880 – 3 October 1937) was a Danish long-distance runner. He competed in the men's marathon at the 1908 Summer Olympics.
Jørgensen was born in Copenhagen and was a member of AIK 95 [da] there. In 1905 he won the inaugural Kongepokalen [da], then a 15km race; it has since become the Danish national championship in men's cross country running.
At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, he was one of two Danes competing in the marathon, placing 23rd. He was eliminated in the men's 5-mile race.
