Torgeir Torgersen (born March 10 1923, died January 11 2001) was a Norwegian football player who played as a goalkeeper for Viking Fotballklubb and Norway.
Torgersen played for Viking's junior team during the outbreak of World War II but made his debut for the Stavanger team after the peace and played a total of 130 matches until 1950. He was also part of the Viking team that reached the final of the Norwegian Championship in 1947, where Viking Fotballklubb lost 0–2 to Skeid. In 1950, he went on a professional stint with the French capital club Stade Français Paris, where he stayed for only one season. He made his second debut for Viking Fotballklubb in 1958 but only played five league matches before retiring as an active player in 1960.
He made his national team debut on June 11, 1947, in a friendly match against Poland. His last of a total of 22 matches wearing the Norwegian flag on his chest came in a friendly against Ireland on November 26, 1950. Due to the Norwegian Football Association's self-imposed amateur rule, Torgersen was denied playing more matches for Norway when he went to play professionally in France in 1950.
