The Lord Chamberlain of Norway () is a traditional officer of the Royal Household of Norway. The title was introduced in 1866. In Denmark the equivalent title is Hofmarskallen (the Court Marshal), and in Sweden it is Hovmarskalken (the Marshal of the Court).
The Lord Chamberlain of Norway is the highest administrative leader at the Royal Court and is responsible for the business vis-à-vis the King. The chief justice has the ultimate responsibility for personnel matters, the court's organization and operations, and has ceremonial and protocol duties. The court chief is a member of the council of the Order of St. Olav, where he or she is treasurer. In the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit, the head of court is the chancellor of the order. In Norway, the court marshal is subordinate to the head of the court and functions as head of finance and administration at the court.
