May Andersen (born Lykke May Andersen on June 19, 1982 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a Danish supermodel. She is most known for her work on Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated Magazine's Swimsuit Issue.

In her youth she wanted to be a singer and took vocal lessons. Her career goal changed dramatically when a photographer spotted her on a Copenhagen street in 1995. The photographer convinced her and her parents that she would have a good chance of a career as a model, despite her young age.

She relocated to New York in 2000.

In 2000 the car she was riding was hit by a garbage truck on Sixth Avenue. She broke her collarbone, her wrist in three places, and sustained injuries to her pelvis. She has not yet fully recovered. She later received compensation from the city of New York.

Because she chooses to continue posing in fur coats, she has been a target of animal rights activists. The most public example was in 2003 when she was sprayed in the face with tear gas during the Fashion Week in Paris together with fellow model Devon Aoki.

On April 20, 2006, May Andersen was arrested for hitting a flight attendant on a flight from Amsterdam to Miami. Andersen was aboard Martinair Flight 643 on Thursday. She was "loud and disruptive all throughout the flight," according to a Miami-Dade police spokeswoman. Airport police arrested Andersen when the flight landed. She continued her loud and unruly behavior with officers, police said. Andersen was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital to check for signs of alcohol or drug abuse, then booked into Miami-Dade County Jail.

Deported by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials to the Netherlands on Monday, April 24, after spending two nights in jail. She is charged with battery, resisting arrest and disorderly intoxication. Upon her return to the United States, she will have to stand trial.

On April 28, 2006, she appeared on Danish television, defending her incomprehensible behavior by stating that she could have pushed the flight attendant away accidentally while she slept, because he was bent over her attempting to adjust her seat. She also stated that she was awoken a second time by a police officer pulling her arm which could explain her unruly behavior because she did not understand the charge, and was separated from her girlfriend and still sleepy etc. In the TV-clip, pictures of her bruises were shown. However, it has been pointed out that the severity of the bruising could not have happened had she not been struggling so much.

Her newfound notoriety has not changed her status of officially being used for publicizing the Danish tourism program: "Who doesn't like a Dane?"
