Eivind Heiberg (29 November 1870 – 2 November 1939) was a Norwegian engineer and railway director. He is known as the chairman of Skabo Jernbanevognfabrik from 1899 to 1924, the Federation of Norwegian Manufacturing Industries from 1906 to 1912, the Norwegian Employers' Confederation from 1912 to 1917, the Norwegian State Railways from 1924 to 1938 and Standards Norway from 1924 to 1934.

He was born in Christiania as a son of Colonel Axel Wulfsberg Heiberg (1832–1904) and his wife Emma Sejersted (1840–1930). He was a first cousin of Gustav, Jacob, Gunnar and Inge Heiberg, a first cousin once removed of Hans Heiberg and an uncle of Axel, Bernt and Edvard Heiberg.

In November 1895 he married Gudrun Møller (1872–1945). The couple had three sons, who all became engineers. He was the paternal grandfather of Karin Heiberg, who married Thorvald Stoltenberg and is the mother of Camilla, Nini and Jens Stoltenberg.

After graduating in machine engineering in 1890, he was hired as a draftsman in the Norwegian State Railways. In 1895 he was promoted to constructor. In 1899 he left the State Railways to become managing director of the manufacturing company Skabo Jernbanevognfabrik. As indicated by the name, the company produced tramcars, but also chassis for buses and trucks, as well as the first Norwegian-built trolleybus.
