Kevin Stuhr-Ellegaard (né Kevin Stuhr Larsen, born 23 May 1983) is a Danish professional football goalkeeper who is currently playing for IF Elfsborg in Sweden. He has played for Manchester City and Blackpool in England, as well as German club Hertha BSC and Dutch club SC Heerenveen. Ellegaard has played 56 games for various Danish youth selections, including 20 games for the Denmark national under-21 football team. He has been selected several times for the Denmark national squad, but has not appeared in a match.

Born in Copenhagen, Ellegaard spent his youth years in various Zealand clubs. In July 2002 he moved from Farum BK to Manchester City. In the 2003–04 season, he made two full appearances and two substitute appearances for the club in the league, replacing David Seaman both times when coming on as a substitute. He was loaned out to Blackpool FC for a month in January 2005, where he played two league matches in Football League One. Stuhr-Ellegaard moved to Germany to play for Hertha BSC in summer 2005. He had a hard time forcing his way into the starting line-up, and only played two Bundesliga games for the team. He moved to Danish club Randers FC as a free agent in the summer 2007.

In his first half season with Randers, Ellegaard only conceded 15 goals in 18 matches. He went on to play all Randers games in his first two seasons with the club, helping Randers finish sixth in the 2007–08 and fifth in the 2008–09 Superliga season. In the 2009–10 Superliga season, Ellegaard conceded 15 goals in the first seven games, and was dropped from the starting line-up by coach John Jensen in August. As Randers' results did not improve with new goalkeeper Nathan Coe, Ellegaard was reinstated in October 2009, and only conceded eight goals in the 16-game unbeaten run that secured Randers FC another season in the top flight. Ellegaard and Randers decided to part their ways in June 2010, as they could not agree on a new contract.
