Knut Hendriksen (15 March 1944 – 10 March 2020) was a Norwegian opera director, who worked most of his career at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm.
Hendriksen was appointed at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm from 1969, and stayed there most of his career. His best known productions include The Barber of Seville (by Rossini, staged in 1998), and Tosca (by Puccini, staged in 2004).
