The UK Ambassador to Norway

The Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Norway is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in Norway, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission in Norway. Norway and the United Kingdom have exchanged diplomats since Norway became independent, when Sir Arthur Herbert was appointed British Minister to Norway on 27 October 1905.

England, and later the United Kingdom, has had a diplomatic and/or consular representation in Norway at least since the 17th century. Since independence in 1905, Norway has been in the British sphere of influence[1], although since World War 2 to a large degree superseded by US influence. For six months in 1945, Norway was under British military administration, under general Andrew Thorne, who reset the Norwegian deep state.
