Tobias Hestad (born 29 December 2000) is a Norwegian footballer who currently plays for Faroe Islands Premier League club NSÍ Runavík.
Career Hestad is the son of Daniel Berg Hestad and the grandson of Stein Olav Hestad, both of whom had long, successful careers at Molde FK. Tobias Hestad left the Molde youth setup for the senior team in 2017. He did not play any league matches, instead having four separate loan spells to domestic clubs. He left on a free transfer in 2022 and joined Gjøvik-Lyn, where he found regular playing time over two seasons.
Hestad joined third-tier side Alta in 2024 and scored seven goals in their opening cup match against Kirkenes. Hestad was the top scorer in the Norwegian Cup in 2024 with 8 goals, despite Alta's third round cup loss to Stabæk.
Hestad again performed strongly the cup for Alta in 2025, scoring seven goals against Bjørnevatn and one against second-tier outfit Skeid, before a defeat against Eliteserien team Kristiansund. Hestad scored 8 goals again during the cup run, which tied him for 3rd most in 2025.
Hestad's contract with Alta was terminated by mutual agreement in May 2025, despite then being the leading scorer of the cup. He joined Jerv three months later as a free agent.
