Alf-Inge Rasdal "Alfie" Håland (born 23 November 1972 in Stavanger) is a retired Norwegian football defender. He played his club football for Bryne FK, and later played for Nottingham Forest F.C., Leeds United F.C. and Manchester City F.C.. Håland won 34 caps for Norway, and is one of six players to have played for the Norwegian national team without ever playing in the domestic top division.

Håland is often remembered for his "feud" with Roy Keane. In 1997, when Manchester United were losing to Haaland's Leeds United team, Keane attempted to tackle Håland late in the game. In the process, Keane injured his anterior cruciate liagment. As Keane lay prone on the ground, Håland criticised Keane for the tackle and suggested that he was feigning injury to avoid punishment. Keane was booked as he was stretchered off the field. Three and a half years later, in 2001, Keane deliberately fouled Håland, high up on his knee. Initially, Keane was simply fined £5000 and received a 3-match ban. However, in his biography he admitted that he wanted to "hurt" Håland as revenge for the for the taunting he received years previously. After this revelation, Keane's ban was increased to 5 games, and the fine increased to £150,000 fine. Håland retired through injury in 2002.
