Eiliv Odde Hauge (10 November 1913 – 3 July 1971) was a Norwegian screenwriter, author and resistance member.
An early member of the National Socialist Workers' Party of Norway (NNSAP) and later Nasjonal Samling (NS) during his youth in the 1930s, Hauge had turned to join the Norwegian resistance movement by the time of the German invasion of Norway. On 30 May 1940 he helped organise and took part in the expedition from Ålesund of the motorboat Nyo that reached Baltasound, Shetland. As a lieutenant in the exiled Norwegian Army, he headed the Norwegian Government Film Unit during the war, and after the war the Supreme Headquarter's Psychological Warfare Division which distributed wartime films. He later wrote several books about the Norwegian war effort, notably Flukten fra Dakar (which was turned into a film in 1951), as well as manuscripts for several films.
He died in 1971 and is buried in Øystre Slidre in Oppland.
