Aage Langeland-Mathiesen (22 May 1868 – 19 June 1933) was a Danish architect. He was active both in building design and restoration,and was associated with the National Museum for many years. His building designs are strongly influenced by his interest in historic architecture. He collaborated with his more well-known colleague Ulrik Plesner on many projects.

Mathiesen was born in Aarhus but the family moved to Copenhagen in 1872 where his father Rasmus Langeland Mathiesenbecame building inspector of the Danish capital. Aage Langeland-Mathiesen completed a carpenter'sapprenticeship and studied at Copenhagen Technical College before enrolling at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1884.

He was represented at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1897-1903 and at the 18 November Exhibition in 1927 and 1930.

Langeland-Mathiesen's style was strongly influenced by his interest in historic architecture. He found inspiration in Renaissance and Baroque architecture, combining it with modern techniques and craftsmanship. Other works, such as Glacisgården, was in Jugendstil.

The work he created in collaboration with Ulrik Plesner are characterized by a more consistent style influenced by the Bedre Byggeskik movement, Baroque and Romantic Nationalism.
