The Norwegian identity card, commonly referred to as the national identity card (Norwegian: nasjonalt ID-kort, Northern Sami: ID-duođaštus) in Norway, is a non-compulsory biometric identity document issued since 30 November 2020. It is one of two official identity documents issued by the Norwegian Police Service, the other being the Norwegian passport.

It is issued to Norwegian citizens as a travel document and may indicate citizenship to facilitate freedom of movement within the European Free Trade Association and the European Economic Area, as well as EU/EEA residents as a domestic identification document within Norway.

For travel within the Nordic countries no identity documentation is legally required for Nordic citizens due to the Nordic Passport Union.
