Norway at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Norway competed at the Summer Olympic Games for the first time at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. Results from Norwegian athletes are typically considered separate from those of Swedish competitors despite the Union between Sweden and Norway that existed in 1900, as these were two separate kingdoms in a personal union under one king.

Medalists Norway finished in 16th position in the final medal rankings with 5 medals.
