Poul Peter Knud Augustinus Alsing Nielsen (21 May 1907 – 11 April 1985) was a Danish painter. Born in Frederikssund, he studied painting and graphic art at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1930.
Initially avid in landscape painting, he depicted scenes just about Kalvehave in the south of Zealand where he grew up. After touching to Copenhagen, he was attracted by subjects in the harbour Place including tin shacks, piles of scrap metal or industrial buildings. As a result, he was nicknamed Bølgebliksmaleren (the corrugated iron painter). His works in subdued colour are painted behind simple still precise lines, in a somewhat abstract style. In 1971, Alsing Nielsen was awarded the Thorvaldsen Medal.
