Jørgen Tengesdal (born 5 April 1979) is a Norwegian former footballer who later worked as coach.
Tengesdal played for Viking most of his career, but also spent time at Tromsø, Skeid, Lyn and Randaberg. He represented Norway at under-17 and under-21 level.
Tengesdal was head coach of Randaberg after he retired, and later worked in Egersund's coaching staff.
Tengesdal was born in Stavanger, and grew up in Egersund where he played for Egersund until 1997 and joined Viking ahead of the 1998 season. He played 18 league-matches in his three first season at Viking, and replaced Gunnar Aase as a substitute after 111 minutes in the 2000 Norwegian Football Cup Final when Viking lost 2–1 against Odd Grenland.
In the 2001 season, Tengesdal spent six weeks at Tromsø on loan during the summer. He scored two goals in his first match for Tromsø when Sogndal was beaten 3–0 on 10 June 2001. Tengesdal played five league-games and two cup-games for Tromsø before he returned to Viking. Tengesdal scored the goal that sent Viking to the 2001 Norwegian Football Cup Final in the last minute of the semi-final against Odd Grenland, and a few days later he was involved in both of Viking's goals when Kilmarnock was eliminated from the 2001–02 UEFA Cup. Tengesdal's contract expired on 30 October 2001, five days before the final, and Viking's head coach Benny Lennartsson did not want to sign Tengesdal for another season. Tengesdal played in the Final when the local rivals Bryne were beaten 3–0, after Viking extended his contract by a week.
