Linda Cathrine Hofstad Helleland (born 26 August 1977 in Klæbu Municipality) is a Norwegian politician for the Conservative Party.

[8] After the Liberal Party joined the Solberg cabinet on 17 January 2018, Helleland was appointed minister of children and equality.

[9] During her tenure, she faced criticism for not taking part in a BBC documentary about the Norwegian Child Welfare Services, which she later argued was because she was in no position to comment on individual cases.

Helleland stated that the government would be prioritising more competence for child welfare workers rather than increasing the employment numbers.

[14] She rejoined the cabinet on 24 January 2020 upon being appointed minister of districts and digitalisation when the Progress Party withdrew from the government.

[15][16] Helleland was elected vice president of the World Anti-Doping Agency in 2016 representing governments in WADAs Foundation Board and Executive Committee.
