Hans Barthold Andresen Butenschøn (27 December 1877 – 28 November 1971) was a notable figure in Norwegian business.
Originating from Kristiania, he was the offspring of Nils August Andresen Butenschøn and Hanna Butenschøn, and a descendant of Nicolay Andresen. He wed Mabel Anette Plahte, and together they had a son, Hans Barthold Andresen Butenschøn Jr.. Through his descendants, he established familial ties with distinguished individuals including Ragnhild Butenschøn, Peter Butenschøn, Joakim Lehmkuhl, Harald Astrup, and Ernst Torp.
After completing studies at institutions specializing in commerce and agriculture, he entered the family enterprise N. A. Andresen & Co, becoming a partner in 1910 and later assuming the role of chief executive officer. The firm adopted the name Andresens Bank in 1913, and merged with Bergens Kreditbank in 1920; however, this union was subsequently reversed. In addition to his banking career, he possessed significant land holdings, including Nedre Skøyen farm and large estates in Enebakk. Beginning in 1926, he served as chairman of the board for Nydalens Compagnie.
Butenschøn held leadership positions as chairman of the supervisory councils for both Forsikringsselskapet Viking and Nedre Glommen salgsforening, and was a supervisory council member of the Oslo Philharmonic. Having joined the gentlemen's club SK Fram in 1890, he was later bestowed lifetime membership status in 1964.
His final resting place is located in Enebakk.
