Eirik Markegård (born 13 February 1984) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a striker for the Norwegian fifth Division side Jardar. He has previously played for Stabæk and Strømsgodset in Tippeligaen as well as Hønefoss, Sandefjord, Tønsberg and Follo in lower leagues. Markegård was runner-up in the Norwegian Cup in 2010 with Follo.
Hailing from Hemsedal in Buskerud, Markegård was both a talented alpine skier and footballer, but chose to focus on his footballing career in Hemsedal IL before he moved to Stabæk ahead of the 2002 season. He made his Tippeligaen debut in a 4–2 win against Molde on 20 October 2002, replacing Marel Baldvinsson in the 86th minute. He scored his first goal against Brann, on 20 May 2004, only 3 minutes after he came on a subsistute. In the 2006 season, Markegård was loaned out to the First Division club Hønefoss. After having scored 8 goals in 19 games, he chose to return to Stabæk to try to oust Tippeligaen top two strikers, Veigar Páll Gunnarsson and Daniel Nannskog.
