Odd Bondevik (born June 20, 1941 in Sauda) was the bishop of Møre in the Church of Norway from 17 November 1991 until retirement in 2008.

Bondevik is an alumnus of MF Norwegian School of Theology, and worked as a missionary to Japan (1969-78). From 1987 he worked at the home office of the Norwegian Missionary Society (NMS) as a secretary for mission. In 1980 he became the General Secretary of the Society, a position a held until he was consecrated bishop in 1991.

Bondevik's father was the politician and member of parliament Kjell Bondevik and he is a cousin of Kjell Magne Bondevik, the former Prime Minister of Norway. Some^who? believe that potential charges of nepotism may have prevented him from becoming bishop of Oslo in 1998.
