Mette Mestad (born November 19, 1958 ) is a former Norwegian biathlete .

Mestad was part of the very successful Norwegian team in the early years of women's biathlon. In the 1983/84 season Mestad won the overall World Cup as the second Norwegian after her teammate Gry Østvik the previous season . In contrast to other Norwegian biathletes of that time, Mestad was not very successful at world championships and could not achieve either an individual or a relay medal there.

She was successful five times in a row in the relay race, four times in the individual and three times in the sprint. Mestad was most successful at the 1980 championships in Austmarka , where she was victorious in all three disciplines.
