Ole-Kristian Tollefsen is a Norwegian defenseman on the Detroit Red Wings.

Tollefsen was drafted by Columbus in 2002, where he began his NHL career in 2005. He spent most of the 2005-06 season in the AHL, where he recorded 18 points and 155 penalty minutes with the Syracuse Crunch. He played five games with the Blue Jackets that year, and played in his first full NHL season in 2006-07, recording 123 penalty minutes in 70 games. He was signed by Philadelphia in the 2009 offseason. He played just 18 games with the Flyers, as they had a solid veteran defensive corps, and was traded to Detroit during the 2009-10 season for Ville Leino. He finished the year in the AHL, and did not make any appearances with the Wings. He will compete for a roster spot on the Wings during the 2010 training camp.
