Tim Sloth Jørgensen (born 21 October 1951) is a senior officer in the Royal Danish Navy and former Chief of Defence of the Danish Armed Forces.[1]

Jørgensen resigned as chief of staff on 4 October 2009 due to his involvement in a controversial fake Arabic translation of Jæger – i krig med eliten, a book by a former special forces member the Danish Army Command tried to suppress.[2]

In 2012, he became an advisor to Terma A/S, a Danish defense and aerospace manufacturer.[3][incomplete short citation]
