Norway competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from 7 to 23 February 2014.

The 2014 Games marked the first time a Norwegian Olympic team competed in Russia, as Norway and 64 western countries took part at the American-led boycott in the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow due to the Soviet–Afghan War.
