Tore Stenshagen (born 11 December 1965) is a retired Norwegian football goalkeeper.

Hailing from Tveita,[1] he played youth football for Vålerenga IF and was selected for Norway's youth national team.[2] In 1984 he was drafted into the senior team.[3] In 1985 he went on to Kjelsås IL.[4] Afterwards he played for Lørenskog IF.[5]

In 1992 he joined SFK Lyn, but was scarcely used on the first team[6] and was loaned out to Bærum SK in 1993.[7] With Lyn he experienced two spells in the Eliteserien and two in the 1. divisjon, suffering two relegations (1993, 1997) and winning one promotion (1996). He was mostly their first-choice goalkeeper from 1996 through 1998, but is remembered for a loss against Brann in 1997 when he asked to be substituted off.[6] After the 1998 season he was poised to join Skeid, but the board of directors overturned the coaches' decision to sign him, and he instead returned to Kjelsås.[5] He retired after one season.[8]

Ahead of the 2009 season Stenshagen became head coach of fifth-tier team Kragerø IF,[9] where he also played for several seasons[10] and scored a number of goals.[11][12] He did not continue coaching in 2010, but returned in the latter half of 2011.[13][14] He also coached the junior team.[15]

Stenshagen worked for many years as a prison guard in Oslo Prison,[1] and eventually started in Skien Prison, being directly involved with their infamous prisoner Anders Behring Breivik.[16]
