Ørjan Berg (born 20 August 1968 in Bodø) is a former Norwegian football midfielder, who most recently played for Rosenborg. He retired at the end of the 2006 season, and has previously played for F.K. Bodø/Glimt, FC Wettingen, TSV 1860 München, and FC Basel. Ørjan is the brother of Bodø/Glimt player Runar Berg, and the son of legendary Bodø/Glimt midfielder and playmaker Harald Berg.
He is the current sporting director of Bodø/Glimt.
He is married and has two sons, Patrick and Marius.
Berg first played — as his father had — at Bodø/Glimt, then playing in the 2nd division, later moving up to the 1st. In 1988 Rosenborg coach Nils Arne Eggen brought him and his friend Jahn Ivar "Mini" Jakobsen from Bodø/Glimt to Rosenborg, where they won the double in their debut year in the Norwegian top division.
After two seasons at Rosenborg, Berg was sold to Swiss club Wettingen FC in 1990, where he played for one season before moving to 1860 Munich and FC Basel before returning to his home club Bodø/Glimt in 1996.
In Bodø/Glimt, now back in the top division, Berg played for three seasons losing a cup final against Tromsø I.L. in 1996. In 1999 Rosenborg needed to strengthen its team to play in the UEFA Champions League, and Berg went on loan to Rosenborg. Later that year he was traded to Rosenborg.
