Ole Stensen (born August 29, 1903) is a Norwegian nordic skier who competed in nordic combined and cross country skiing in the 1920's and early 1930's. He won a Nordic combined silver at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.

In addition, he won the 50 km cross country event both at the 1931 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships and the 1931 Holmenkollen ski festival and a silver in the nordic combined at the 1929 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. Because of those wins, Stenen shared the Holmenkollen medal with fellow Norwegian Hans Vinjarengen, a fellow nordic combined athlete.
