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]
