Mogens Thorsen (30 August 1790 – 29 April 1863) was a Norwegian shipowner and philanthropist. Thorsen was born in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway. He was the son of Ole Balle Thorsen (1744–1826) and Anna Knudsdatter Schmidt (1757–1832). His father was a merchant and operated a shipping crew in Christiania. Thorsen worked as a skipper until the mid-1830s, at which time he started his own shipping company. He distinguished himself from his competition by investing in large ships and with time became the largest shipowner in Christiania.
