Christian Kalvenes (born 8 March 1977) is a retired Norwegian footballer who was a defensive player. In his time, he played three spells at SK Brann and played for Asane and Sogndal. He also played overseas with Dundee United in Scotland and Burnley in England.

Burnley bought Kalvenes in an Bosman deal in the summer of of 2008. His transfer to Burnley was unexpected since it was thought Kalvenes was headed back home to Norway according to the player at the time he left Dundee Utd at the end of the 2007-2008 campaign. The 31-year-old Norwegian fullback who was named ‘Kal-Ven’s’, was signed a two-year contract with the Clarets following the time that contract at the Scottish club ran out. He was expected to be a key player in the Clarets promotion season, with a total of twenty-one games in the league, with his one strike of the campaign turning out to be crucial. It happened in the month of March on Bloomfield Road on a cold night on a wet, chilly Tuesday, when his last-minute strike earned him an important win of 1-0 against Lancashire opponents Blackpool. The raging left back’s goal against Blackpool was crucial during the play-off run by the Lancashire team.

On 14 June 2010 Kalvenes signed for Brann for the third time of his career. He retired after the 2012-season.

He played an important part in helping Burnley gain promotion from the Coca- Cola Championship to the Premier League via the play-offs.

Christian Kalvenes was born in the city of Bergen and began his professional profession with SK Brann, but played only one game. Ten years later and one day following his first match the player made his second league match for the club against FC Lyn Oslo 29 May 2005. In between, he played in the clubs of Asane as well as Sogndal. In spite of the fact that he was among the top talents of Brann during the 1990s however, he was never able to make it into the team of A-team players. After a string of successful years as a center defender at Asane He was then drafted into one of the Sogndal teams competing for promotion into the Premier League in the summer of 2000. He made his debut in the Norwegian Premier League came with Sogndal where he played an impressive 67 games, scoring four goals. Then, in 2003, he was transferred with SK Brann where he managed just 11 appearances and zero goals in three years. He was primarily a left-back and was instrumental in helping the team win the qualification match against Valerenga the same year. He also and scored more goals away.

In January 2008, it was reported that Kalvenes was likely to leave United at the end of his contract and return to Norway; something the player admitted considering in March, although adding it would be “difficult to walk away” and “tough to leave”. Following an injury in mid-April, Kalvenes confirmed he had played his last match for the club, and that he would return to Norway at the end of the season to be closer to his family. In his time at Tannadice Park, Kalvenes made 48 appearances scoring 2 goals. Kalvenes scored on his competitive debut at Ibrox as United drew 2–2 with Glasgow Rangers in the second game of the 2006–07 season. That was to be his only goal of a season when he established himself as a regular, playing over 30 games for the Terrors. Midway through his second season at Tannadice Park, the left back hinted at a return to Scandinavia in the summer of 2008, when his contract expired. However, he continued to be a regular starter and ended his Dundee United career as he started in his penultimate appearance in April 2008 – with a goal against Rangers.
