Ole Kristian Lauvli (born 13 May 1994) is a Norwegian football goalkeeper who currently plays for Tromsø.
Lauvli grew up in Nordre Land Municipality in Oppland county.[2][3] He made his senior debut for Nordre Land in the 2011 3. divisjon.[4]
After the Norwegian 2014 season concluded, Lauvli was on trial at Elche. The contact was made through a Spanish player in Norway. He trained with Elche B.[5][6]
Following the end of the 2020 season, Lauvli was named to the First Division's Team of the Year and thus Goalkeeper of the Year. He had the highest average rating of the season, as graded by the Norwegian News Agency.[2] He established himself as a stalwart in goal, not missing a single league match in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.[1] In 2024 Lauvli was again named Goalkeeper of the Year, this time by TV 2's pundit Amund Lutnæs.[7]
Another highlight in his career came when Raufoss eliminated first-tier team Viking from the 2023 Norwegian Cup. The match went to a penalty shoot-out, where Lauvli saved the first two Viking penalties.[8] Lauvli was reportedly sought after by fellow First Division club Kongsvinger in 2023.[9] In 2025, Lauvli left Raufoss after 11 seasons, and signed for the first Eliteserien team in his career, Tromsø.[10]
