Björn Helland-Hansen (* 16 October 1877 in Oslo (back then known as Christiania); † 7 September 1957 in Bergen) was a Norwegian pioneer in the field of modern oceanography. He studied the variation patterns of the weather in the northern Atlantic Ocean and of the atmosphere.

* In 1915 he became Professor of oceanography in the University of Bergen.
* In 1917 director of the Geophysical Institute.
* In 1933 he was awarded the Alexander Agassiz Medal.
* In 1939 he became President of the International Geodesic and Geophysical Union.

He developed the "Helland-Hansen Photometer" in 1910, which was carried on board "Michael Sars". It was operated for the first time close to the Azores at a depth between 500 and m.

Bjorn Helland Hansen was a Member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences and a member of the Member of the Academy of Sciences of the German Democratic Republic (DDR).

Professor Helland-Hansen trained Alexander Kuchin, the Russian oceanographer who went to Antarctica with Amundsen. An island in the Russian Arctic, east of the Geiberg Islands, has been named Gellanda-Gansena after Helland-Hansen.
