Ørjan Håskjold Nyland (born 10 September 1990) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ingolstadt 04. He has previously played for Hødd and was the man of the match in the 2012 Norwegian Football Cup Final.

Nyland made his debut for Norway in 2013, and has previously represented Norway at youth level. He was the first-choice goalkeeper for the under-21 team at the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. Nyland joined the defending Tippeligaen champions Molde ahead of the 2013-season.

Nyland was born in Volda and was competing in handball, alpine skiing and football when he was young. As a footballer, Nyland played for Mork IL and Volda TI before he joined Hødd in 2007. Nyland did not play in his first year at the club due to the competition from Kim Deinoff and Vebjørn Skeide. Deinoff left Hødd after the 2007-season and for the next two seasons, Nyland was the second choice behind Skeide before Nyland became the first choice during the 2010 season.

Nyland has been regarded as one of the most talented goalkeeper in Norway, and was training with Rosenborg on two occasions in 2007, the English club Everton in December 2008 and Molde in November 2011. Nyland was in December 2011 one of six young goalkeepers selected for Frode Grodås's project The national goalkeeper of tomorrow 2014 initiated by the Football Association of Norway, where the goal was to develop the next national team goalkeeper.
