Enevold Kruse (born October 28, 1554 , † March 8, 1621 in Sjælland ) was a Danish nobleman and Norwegian imperial governor.

After studying abroad, including in the German Helmstedt , he was employed in the Danish law firm in 1578 and made a quick career. He became rent master in 1582, a position he held until 1608. In 1608 he became feudal lord to Akershus , governor of Norway and member of the Danish Imperial Council. As governor, however, relatively little happened under him, only the agreement with Jens Bjelke , a Norwegian aristocratic leader. In the last three years of his life (1618–1621) he lived on Tranekjær in Denmark.
