Rolf Danielsen (19 October 1922 – 25 April 2002) was a Norwegian historian.

Early life and education
He was born in Hammerfest to sexton Harald Danielsen (1879–1973) and his wife Gunda Østeng (1892–1947). After having finished secondary education in 1939, he studied at Eid College in Nordfjordeid. In 1942, he travelled to Oslo to study philology. He was interrupted from his studies in the autumn of 1943, when the German occupants closed the University of Oslo. Danielsen continued his studies after the war, and graduated with a cand.philol. in the spring of 1950.
