Hoskuld Hoskuldsson (1465/1470–c.1537 ) was the 28th and last Roman Catholic Bishop of Stavanger, from 1513 until the Reformation in 1537, and also a member of the Riksråd.

Since he became the Bishop of Stavanger, Hoskuld was a member of the Riksråd National Council and participated in meetings in Oslo and Copenhagen.
Later, he was one of main forces behind the reactivation of the Norwegian Riksråd at the end of the reign of King Christian I.
He went to the Riksråd National Council and asked for its support but three of the most important of its members, Olav Torkelsson, Eske Bille and Vincens Lunge, all refused to betray Frederick I. Eventually, in July 1532, Christian II was captured and imprisoned, ending the War of the Two Kings.
The exiled Christian II was contacted by Olav Engelbrektsson, Catholic Archbishop of Norway and head of the Council of the Realm, in 1529.
