Kåre Aasgaard (born 2 November 1933) is a Norwegian former footballer.[1] A native of Drammen, Aasgaard was a goalkeeper who spent his entire 25-year career at his local team Åssiden, where he played more than 700 first-team games in all competitions (including friendlies) from 1948 until 1973.[2]

Despite never playing in the first tier of Norwegian football at any point of his career, Aasgaard was selected for the Norway National team in 1960, having previously been a youth international.[3] Aasgaard played one match for the senior national team, a 6–3 win against Finland on 28 August 1960. This match is also notable because 17-year-old Roald Jensen scored in the first half, becoming Norway's youngest-ever goalscorer.[4]
