Kim-Roar Hansen (born 24 March 1984) is a Norwegian former ski jumper. At World Cup level he finished five times in the top 15, with a twelfth place at Trondheim on 8 December 2002 as his best result.^[1]

He made his Four Hills Tournament debut in December 2002, but did not progress past the head-to-head qualification against Kazuyoshi Funaki.^[2] He was a candidate to be selected for the 2003 World Championships, but fell through at the 2003 national championships with 8th and 10th places, and was ultimately not selected.^[3]

In 2004, he took his first national championship medal, a bronze medal in the team competition.^[4] However, as he had gone out to town during a World Cup weekend in Kuopio, he was barred from competing in the Vikersundbakken COC race. He was accepted as a trial jumper, and with a measured length of 212 metres he surpassed the hill record of Andreas Goldberger, but only racers could set hill records.^[5] Following the Vikersund incident, lack of motivation and desired results, Hansen decided to retire from ski jumping in the summer of 2004.^[6]^[7]
