Casper Højer Nielsen (born 20 November 1994) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a left back for Turkish Süper Lig club Çaykur Rizespor.

A product of FC Copenhagen's youth academy, Højer failed to break through and mainly played at the lower levels for Brønshøj and Lyngby early on. He moved to AGF in 2018, where he excelled and earned a move to Czech club Sparta Prague in 2021. After two seasons, he joined newly promoted Süper Lig club Çaykur Rizespor.

Højer has been capped 15 times for the Denmark national under-18 and under-19 teams, respectively.
