Rino André Hansen (14 March 1970 – 20 November 2024) was a Norwegian footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

In 1994, he was originally the backup for Ronny Hvambsal, but manager Mike Speight quickly made Hansen the first choice.[2] In 1995 he helped secure promotion from the 1995 1. divisjon, and was lauded by the new Moss manager Per Mathias Høgmo as a possible future Norway international.[3]

Already before making his debut in the Eliteserien in 1996, Moss was contacted by Bolton Wanderers regarding the asking price for Rino Hansen.[4] During the summer, he was scouted by Steve Coppell for Crystal Palace.[5] He was also criticised by some fans for taking too much of the "sweeper" role, leading to two or three mistakes in the early phase of the 1996 Eliteserien.[6]

After the 2003 season, he moved to the new attempt to create an elite club in Sarpsborg, FK Sparta Sarpsborg. Fredrikstad only offered a one-year contract whereas Sparta offered a longer timespan.[7][8]

Hansen died from cancer on 20 November 2024, at the age of 54.[9]
