Army Norway, (Armeeoberkommando Norwegen, abbreviated AOK Norwegen), was a German army operating in Norway and Finland during World War II. It was one of the two army echelon headquarters controlling German troops in the far north. Army Norway was directly subordinate to OKH, the high command headquarters of the Wehrmacht. It was created from Army Group XXI in December 1940, itself a successor of the XXI Army Corps, and disbanded in December 1944, with its tasks and assets taken over by the 20th Mountain Army.

As of 15 January 1941, the actual strength (Iststärke) of Army Norway was 129,759 personnel in total.^[1]
