Eivind Andreas Ehrenborg Vold (Born 15.06.1993) is a Norwegian athlete competing in flatwater kayaking. He has two bronze medals from the Canoe Sprint European Championships, 2017 and 2018.

In the Canoe Sprint World Championship 2018 he finished 3rd, but passed on the wrong side of a buoy in the last turn. He was wrongfully awarded the bronze medal, which he later renounced to Javier Hernanz from Spain, who finished 4th. As a consequence, Vold later received the ICF (International Canoe Federation) gold medal for fair play.

The night of August 20, 2016, Vold crossed the Skagerak strait from Denmark to Norway in the record time of 11 hours and 42 minutes.
