Claus Lundekvam (born February 22, 1973 in Austevoll) is a Norwegian footballer.

Hailing from Austevoll, he joined Brann as a junior player with his senior debut coming in 1993. Lundekvam eventually gained a regular place as a central defender before being sold to English side Southampton in the autumn of 1996. He has played over 340 Premier League matches for Southampton, which is more Premiership appearances than any other Norwegian.

Lundekvam remained at Southampton even after their relegation from the FA Premier League in 2005 and despite insisting that he would sacrifice a testimonial match to sign for Celtic (managed by former Southampton manager Gordon Strachan) in January.

Lundekvam made his debut for Norway in November 1995, but did not become a regular until 2002. He has been capped 40 times, scoring twice. His first international goal, against Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2002, was the 1,000th goal in the history of the Norwegian national team.

Claus has only scored two career goals for the Saints. The goals came against Wolves in 2004 and against Cardiff in 2006 – both teams managed at the time by former Saints manager Dave Jones.

Claus is an avid sailor and has quite a number of boats
