The ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines to the Kingdom of Norway (Filipino: Sugo ng Republika ng Pilipinas sa Kaharian ng Noruwega; Norwegian: Utsending av Republikken Filippinene til kongeriket Norge) is the Republic of the Philippines' foremost diplomatic representative in Norway. As head of the Philippines' diplomatic mission there, the ambassador is the official representative of the president and the government of the Philippines to the king and government of the Kingdom of Norway. The position has the rank and status of an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary and is based at the embassy at Nedre Vollgate 8, Oslo, Norway.
