Knut Bergsland (1914-1998) was a Norwegian linguist and professor at the University of Oslo. His first linguistic work was a grammar of the Southern Sámi language (in 1946). It is still the reference grammar of this language.

He later did important research in Eskimo-Aleut, firstly a historical grammar of Kallalisut, and then a dictionary and reference grammar of Aleut.
