Sjur Larsson Helgeland (19 August 1858 − 12 April 1924) was a Norwegian hardingfele fiddler and composer from Voss. Among his best-known airs is "Budeiene på Vikafjell", composed over the different moods of three dairymaids, the sorrow, joy and happiness, combined with cattle call, lows, wind and bird singing.
