Stian Hauge Tønnesen (born March 2, 1974 in Sarpsborg ) is a former Norwegian handball player . He is 1.88 m tall. Stian Tønnesen is married and has a son and a daughter.

Stian Tønnesen started playing handball in Sarpsborg in 1981. There he met the later record national player Jan Thomas Lauritzen and became Norwegian junior champion. At the age of 20, Tønnesen moved to the then newly promoted Drammen HK , while Lauritzen went to Uradd. With Drammen Tønnesen finished second and third in the elite series and won the City Cup in 1996, but in 1996 he went to Sweden to join the second division team HF Kroppskultur . It didn't last long there, after a year he went back to Norway to Elverum Håndball and in 1998 straight back to Sweden to the first division club IFK Ystad HK . There he finally found peace and moved into the quarter-finals of the championship in 2001 and 2003, and in 2002 and 2003 he played in the EHF Cup . In the summer of 2003 the offer came from Germany and Tønnesen switched to the 1st handball league for TuS N-Lübbecke . There he became a leading player and kept his team in the middle of the table for three years, and for half a year there was a reunion with Jan Thomas Lauritzen. In the 2006/07 season, however, Lübbecke slipped into the relegation ranks and only managed to stay in the relegation against TSV Bayer Dormagen . Tønnesen contributed to the relegation with 155 goals and thus made himself interesting for other clubs, in the summer of 2007 the SC Magdeburg signed him, where he played until 2013. He then joined the Swedish first division club HK Malmö . In 2016 Tønnesen ended his career and then took over as coach of HK Malmö.

Stian Tønnesen made 13 appearances for the Norwegian national team . He only made his debut for Norway at the age of 28, after which he never got past players like Glenn Solberg or Børge Lund and never took part in a major tournament.
