Rolf Siljan Andreassen, born on 3 April 1949, is a Norwegian competition rower and Olympic medallist. At the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal he won the silver medal in the coxless four event, rowing in a crew with Finn Tveter, Ole Nafstad and Arne Bergodd. A coxless four is a boat of four rowers who race without a coxswain, so the crew has to steer and keep the boat on course together. The English Wikipedia article on him is short and records this Olympic medal as the main fact of his career, naming the three crew mates who shared it.
