Erlend Hanstveit (born January 28, 1981 in Bergen) is a Norwegian footballer. Hailing from Osterøy, he joined Norwegian Premier League team Brann in June 1998 despite interest from big clubs like PSV Eindhoven, Leeds United and Manchester United. Originally a midfielder, he gradually became a first team regular at Brann as well as the Norway national under-21 football team, playing 27 international U-21 matches in total. During 2001/02, Erlend Hanstveit converted to defense, settling in the left back position, where he has played since. On January 28, 2004, on his 23rd birthday, Hanstveit made his debut for the senior national team.

Hanstveit is one of the veterans in Brann, with over 150 Premiership-matches and over 200 matches in total for the redshirts from Bergen. During his 9 year career in Brann, Hanstveit has 1 Premiership gold, 2 silver, and 2 bronze, in addition to the 2004 Norwegian Cup gold in 2004. He's also been the club's vice-captain since 2004. In September 2006, Hanstveit signed a new contract with Brann, lasting throughout the 2008 season.
