Ragnvald Soma (born 10 November 1979) is a Norwegian former footballer who played as a defender for his childhood club Frøyland Idrettslag.

His stay there lasted just over one and a half years, during which Soma made only seven league appearances before returning to Bryne on a free transfer.

Whilst at West Ham he played in their 1–0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the 2000–01 FA Cup,[4] coming on as a late substitute for his debut.

He became an instant hit, being voted player of the year by several newspapers[citation needed] and becoming a regular in the Norway national team.

In March 2006 he transferred to Viking for an undisclosed fee believed to be around £500,000, with Brann also getting right back Bjørn Dahl as a part-exchange.
