Jan Erik Kongshaug (1944–2019) var en norsk lydtekniker og jazzgitarist.
Liv og virke Han var bosatt i Trondheim (1946–1953), hadde en gitarspillende far, John Kongshaug, som spilte med Willy Andresen, og startet selv med trekkspill (1950), gitar (1958) og bass (1964), det siste grunnet et engasjement på MS «Bergensfjord» (1963–1964).
Kongshaug tok examen artium i 1963 og utdannet seg i elektronikk ved Trondheim tekniske skole (1967). Deretter var han ansatt i Oslo-bedriftene Arne Bendiksen Studio (1967–1974) og Talent Studio (1974–1979), samt hadde engasjement også i hjembyen og i New York City.
I 1984 grunnla han sitt eget eget lydstudio, Rainbow Studio i Oslo. Tilsammen produserte han over 4000 plater, og han er særlig kjent for sine rundt 700 innspillinger for ECM (1970–). Han regnes som en av verdens beste lydteknikere, teksten «Recorded at Rainbow Studio, Oslo. Engineer: Jan Erik Kongshaug.» regnes som et særlig kvalitetskjennetegn for lydopptak.
Under Spellemannprisen 1982 ble han tildelt diplom som studiotekniker og under Spellemannprisen 1990 fikk han bransjeprisen som plateprodusent. Han var i tillegg nominert til Spellemannprisen 1983 i klassen produsent/opphavsmann/arrangør som produsent for Inger Lise Rypdals album Just For You.
Som musiker spilte han til Åse Klevelands bidrag til Norsk Melodi Grand Prix 1966 som fikk bronse Eurovision Song Contest i 1966. Ellers medvirket han på flere titalls plateutgivelser,diskografi.nos liste deriblant med Asmund Bjørken, Frode Thingnæs, Sven Nyhus, Arild Andersen og Frode Alnæs. Han ga ut to plater i Jan Erik Kongshaug Quartet der man finner Svein Olav Herstad på piano, Harald Johnsen på bass og Per Oddvar Johansen på trommer.
Han fikk Gammleng-prisen i klassen studiomusiker i 2012 og var den første til å få NOPAs hederspris da den ble delt ut for første gang i 2013. I 2019 ble Kongshaug tildelt Kongens fortjenstmedalje, og fikk Rockheims ærespris samme år.
