Ragnvald Soma (born 10 November 1979) is a Norwegian football (soccer) player playing for Viking FK. He is primarily a central defender, although he has been both a left back and a defensive midfielder earlier in his career.

Soma started his professional career in 2000 after signing for the Norwegian club Bryne FK on 1 August. In January 2001 he moved to English Premiership side West Ham United for £800,000. His stay there lasted just over one and a half years, during which time Soma made only 3 league starts before returning to Bryne on a free transfer. With Bryne relegated at the end of the 2003 season, Soma moved to SK Brann. He became an instant hit, being voted player of the year by several newspapersFact|date=November 2007 and becoming a regular in the Norway national team squad. In March 2006 he transferred to his current club Viking for an undisclosed fee believed to be around £500,000, with Brann also getting right back Bjørn Dahl as a part-exchange.
