Brede Skistad (4 March 1948 – 25 August 1995) was a Norwegian football player and manager.
He started his coaching career in Drammen Strong, Djerv 1919, Kristiansund FK and Stord IL.
In 1992, Start were close to winning the title, but fell short in their final matches, and eventually finished third.
In 1994, Start wanted to win the title again, and bought back Tore André Dahlum, Petter Belsvik, and Tommy Svindal Larsen.
Brede Skistad quit as Start manager after the 1994 season due to leukaemia, and handed the position over to his assistant, Erik Ruthford Pedersen.
