Ingvald Rastad

Ingvald Aleksander Kristiansen Rastad (4 November 1891 – 1958) was a Norwegian typographer and politician for the Labour Party.

He was born in Kristiania as a son of mason Carl Christiansen (1855–1922) and Stina Anderson (1856–1927). In his youth he was a "young socialist" (anarchist) and edited the monthly magazine Storm from 1907 to 1910. He took typographer training at Emil Moestue, and worked as such at the book printers Brøgger Boktrykkeri, Grøndahl Boktrykkeri, Steenske Boktrykkeri and Centraltrykkeriet.

He was a member of Oslo city council from 1919 to 1934, the last four terms in the executive committee. He was elected to the Parliament of Norway from Oslo in the 1924 election, and served one term in the Standing Committee on Social Affairs. He died in 1958; the main speaker at his funeral was then-Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen.
