Børge André Rannestad (born 16 August 1973) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder.

Hailing from Moi, he came up in the club Moi IL.[1] He represented Norway numerous times from the u-16 through u-20 levels, including as a squad member at the 1993 FIFA World Youth Championship.

He had a stint in Bryne before joining Kvinesdal in 1992, only to move on to the region's top-tier team and reigning league champions Viking FK in the summer of 1992.[2] Recording a maximum of 8 league games during one season, namely in 1993, he went on to Odds BK in 1996.[3]

The team secured promotion to the 1999 Tippeligaen, but the 1999 season was marred by long-term injury for Rannestad.[4] He played for Mandalskameratene in 2000, before retiring, later featuring occasionally for Kvinesdal IL, now on the seventh tier.
