Ola H. Metliaas was a Norwegian civil servant and politician.

He was born in Orkdal, and had a background as chairman of the Young Liberals of Norway, the young wing of the Liberal Party, from 1966 to 1968. In 1972 he was the managing director of Ja til EF, an organization supporting Norwegian membership in the European Community.
