Esbjerg SK was an ice hockey team in Esbjerg, Denmark, that operated during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1954-55 they finished as runners-up in the Jütland Regional Tournament, and as a result failed to qualify for the Danish Championship. They took part in the Jutland tournament again in 1955-56, but as with the previous year, did not succeed in qualifying for the national championship. They made their debut in the newly-created 1. division in the 1960-61 season, claiming third place after winning two and losing four games. They regressed in the subsequent season, dropping all five of their league games. Esbjerg SK took second place during the 1962-63 season, finishing with an identical win-loss record (6-1-1) as the champion, Rungsted IK; Rungsted was awarded the championship thanks to a better goal differential (+31 as opposed to +26). In their last season, 1963-64, Esbjerg finished in third place in the 1. division. From 1964 until 2005, Esbjerg IK served as the city of Esbjerg's hockey team.
