Eirik Ulland Andersen (born 21 September 1992) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eliteserien club Strømsgodset.

Early career
Hailing from Haugesund, Andersen played for Vard Haugesund until he signed for FK Haugesund in 2010. He made his debut for Haugesund in Tippeligaen against Aalesund on 10 April 2011. Andersen played a total of 145 minutes in 10 matches for Haugesund in Tippeligaen in 2011, and scored five goals in three matches in the Norwegian Cup.

Andersen was loaned to his old club Vard Haugesund, playing in the 2. divisjon, until 31 July. On 1 August 2012, he joined Vard Haugesund on a permanent transfer. The club won promotion from the 2012 2. divisjon. He played for second-tier club Hødd from 2013 to 2016.
