Jes Holtsø (born 30 December 1956) is a Danish actor most notable for his role as Kjeld's son Børge in the ''Olsen-banden'' films.

As an adult Holtsø never pursued acting, though he did take part in the last Olsen Gang film, ''The Olsen Gang's Last Trick'', as the adult Børge. After having been a drug-addict and alcoholic for much of his youth, Holtsø is now clean, and has, himself, worked at an institution to help addicts.
