Erling Hokstad (born 7 August 1940) was a Norwegian football midfielder and later manager.

He spent his playing career in Eidsvold Turn. Following an injury, he started his managing career in the same club, and attended the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.[2]

After four seasons in Kongsvinger, Strømmen and Stabæk,[2] he returned to Eidsvold Turn in 1980.[3] He continued through 1985, but also managed the Norwegian women's national team from 1983. His major achievement was the gold medal in the 1987 UEFA Women's Championship.
