Rolf Kirkvaag (20 September 1920 – 24 January 2003) was a Norwegian journalist, and a radio- and TV personality.

Kirkvaag was among the passengers on a Braathens SAFE plane that crashed by Hommelfjell, the Hummelfjell Accident.

Kirkvaag – with a broken bone in his foot – and another passenger had to walk 18 km (11 mi) for help.

The incident made Kirkvaag a national hero, and he has since been referred to as Norway's first celebrity.

Here he described Rolf's darker side, and alleged that he had been an emotionally distant and occasionally violent father.
