Henrik Melland (born 29 March 2005) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Aalesunds FK.
He is a son of footballer Bjørn Erik Melland. As Henrik Melland started his youth career in SIF/Hessa, he joined Aalesunds FK in 2020, where his father was the director of sports. After spending time in the academy, Henrik Melland made his senior cup debut in July 2021 against Træff and his 1. divisjon debut in August against Raufoss. Following promotion, his Eliteserien debut came in September 2022 against Molde.
Seen as a considerable talent, the first transfer bids on Melland from foreign clubs came in 2020 when he was 15 years old. He made his international debut for Norway U16 in 2021.
The month after Melland extended his contract to the end of 2026, he broke his leg during training and missed the 2024 season.
In 2025, Melland and two other AaFK players were considered for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, but Aalesund manager Kjetil Rekdal refused to allow their participation, citing important league matches. Aalesund, winning promotion to the 2026 Eliteserien, also rejected a transfer bid from Molde, reportedly around 5 million kr. Instead, Melland extended his contract from the end of 2026 to the end of 2028.
