Armand Henning Carlsen (20 October 1905 – 8 May 1969) was a Norwegian speed skater who competed in the 1928 Winter Olympics.

In 1928 he finished fifth in the 5000 metres event. He also started in the abandoned 10000 metres competition.[1] He held the world record in the 10,000 metres distance between 1928 and 1939, clocking in 17:17.4 minutes at the 1928 World Championships.[2] His other personal best times were 46.5 seconds in the 500 metres (1931); 2.23.6 minutes in the 1500 metres (1928); and 8.34.0 minutes in the 5000 metres (1928).[1]

He represented the club Oslo SK,[2] and chaired the Norwegian Skating Association from 1956 to 1961.[3] For his achievements in both speed skating and cycling, he was awarded the Egebergs Ærespris in 1929.[2]
