Einar Liljedahl (16 January 1882 – February 1955) was a Norwegian military officer.
From 1935 to 1947 he was head of 3rd Division of the Norwegian Army, with the rank of major general.
[3] Following the outbreak of the Second World War, the 3rd Division was responsible for the "neutrality guard" in Agder and Rogaland.
During the German attack on Norway in April 1940, the troops of the 3rd Division were rather unprepared for the situation, and surrendered after a few days.
[4] Liljedahl was criticized for his dispositions during the German invasion of Norway, by the military investigation commission of 1946.
