Knut Theodor "Gle" Gleditsch (July 3, 1938 – February 13, 2001) was a Norwegian sportscaster from Sande, Vestfold.

He also covered a number of cup finals, international matches, and 4 o'clock Saturday matches broadcast as Tippekampen,[3] as well as seven World Cup finals for the national channel.

[4] Gleditsch left NRK in 1991 and started working for TV3, where for many years he commented on the UEFA Champions League,[5] including Rosenborg's famous victory over AC Milan in 1996 and Ole Gunnar Solskjær's winning goal for Manchester United in 1999.

He also commented on certain matches in the 1998 FIFA World Cup as part of "Team Gleditsch," where his sons Pål and Espen Gleditsch were reporters and photographers, and his daughter Kine was a journalist for Det Nye.
