Hans Ludvig Carl Huitfeldt (1876 – 1969) was a Norwegian physician.

He graduated as cand.med. in 1902, and later took the dr.med degree. He worked in Gjøvik from 1902 to 1904, and thereafter in Oslo, running a private clinic from 1908 to 1940. He founded the cancer treatment clinic Kristiania Radium-Institutt in 1912, and was later instrumental in the foundation of the Norwegian Radium Hospital. From its foundation in 1932 to 1956 he chaired the board of directors.[1] [2] Huitfeldt was also physician-in-ordinary of the Norwegian royal family. During the German occupation of Norway, the royal family was chased into exile, while Huitfeldt was imprisoned at Grini.[1]

Huitfeldt was a Knight of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav and the Swedish Order of the Polar Star.[1]

He was the son of Henrik Jørgen Huitfeldt-Kaas,[3] and the son-in-law of newspaper editor Amandus Schibsted.[1]
