Eirik Horneland (born 14 March 1975) is a Norwegian football manager and former player who is currently the manager of Ligue 2 club Saint-Étienne. He played as a defender and spent most of his playing years at Vard Haugesund before finishing his career at Haugesund. After retiring as a player, Horneland moved into coaching, first as an assistant manager at Haugesund, before becoming the coach of the Norway national under-19 football team.
Horneland returned to Haugesund as manager in 2016, where strong league finishes earned him a move to Rosenborg in 2019. Horneland resigned from his position after a run of poor results in June 2020 and became assistant manager at Brann in October of that year. He was later promoted to head coach and won the Norwegian Football Cup with the club in 2023. After finishing runners-up in the league two years in a row, Horneland left Brann following the 2024 season and joined French club Saint-Étienne.
