Vegard Sannes (born 4 September 1976) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder who notably played for FK Bodø/Glimt.

He was born in Kirkenes, and started his career in Kirkenes IF. He then continued in Alta IF,[1] before joining Bodø/Glimt ahead of the 2001 season.[2] He played 87 games and scored 4 goals in the Norwegian Premier League over the following years,[3] and stayed in Bodø/Glimt after their relegation 2005. The team was re-promoted ahead of the 2008 season.

However, he did not play a single game in the 2008 season due to a knee injury, and at the end of the season his contract with Bodø/Glimt was not renewed.[4] He was interested in a return to Alta IF, but not with the current knee injury, and therefore he retired.[5]
