Karl Petter "Kalle" Løken (born August 14, 1966 in Karlskoga, Sweden) is a former Norwegian football player. He was a natural allrounder, but played primarily on the right side in the midfield. Løken spent most of his career at Rosenborg BK, where he won the league eight times. He was also the top scorer in Tippeligaen in 1991, and was capped 36 times for Norway. He was in the 1994 World Cup squad, as an unused substitute.

In 1997, after 12 seasons for Rosenborg, he was transferred to Stabæk, where he played two seasons before retiring, briefly coaching a Stabæk youth team thereafter. While at Rosenborg, Løken attended the Norwegian Institute of Technology, where he got a Master's degree in chemical engineering. He now works for Statoil, and is also a sports commentator for NRK.
