Raymond Kvisvik (b. November 8, 1974) is a Norwegian football player. With background from teams in hometown Sarpsborg, he currently plays for Fredrikstad just a few kilometers from his hometown, as a midfielder. He moved there due to family reasons, from Brann, where he was the star of the team. He has also played in Austria for Austria Wien.

Kvisvik started his career at Moss F.K. in 1997. He played there to 1998 and was give a lot of the credit for the success year of Moss FK. He was sold Brann the same year. At the time Brann was in a bad situation both with the economycly and was in danger of relegation. Kvisvik was given much of the honor for the good late run at the season, and Brann avoided relegation. Kvisvik quickly became the Brann fans favorite player. Being a colorful character on and of the pitch, Kvisvik became a cult figure. There was much sadness when Kvisvik was sold to Austria Wien. He diden't enjoy much success there though, and was back in Brann only a year later. Once again he saved Brann from Relegation. Kvisvik was sold to Fredrikstad in 2005, he is considered by many as one of the greatest players in the history of Brann.
