Helge Hognestad (born 19 May 1940) is a Norwegian theologian, Lutheran priest and government scholar.
Hognestad was born in Time to priest Alf Bjarne Kåre Hognestad and headmaster Sigrid Dorthea Wiul. In 1965 he married teacher Aase Margaret Nordeng, and in 1997 he married priest Lene Højholt.[1]
He graduated as cand.theol. from the University of Oslo in 1964. His dr. thesis from 1978 was a treatment of the Gospel of Matthew which resulted in much controversy.

Among his publications are the collection Gud på Høvik from 1981, En kirke for folket from 1982, Tro underveis from 1984, Fra alter til våpenhus from 2000, Paulus og forvandlingens mulighet from 2003, and Gud i mennesket. Ny tid – ny kristendom from 2006.[1][2]
