Henrik Haukeland (born 6 December 1994) is a Norwegian professional ice hockey player who is a goaltender for HC Traktor Chelyabinsk of the Kontinental Hockey League.

Haukeland has also played for the Norwegian national team. After participating in the 2017 and 2018 IIHF World Championships,[1] he helped Norway win its first medal with a bronze at the 2026 edition and was named the tournament's best goaltender.[2][3] Despite the accolade, he was barred from continuing with the team upon signing a two-year contract with Chelyabinsk in June; due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Norwegian Ice Hockey Association has a policy banning players from representing the national team if they play in Russia or Belarus.[4]
