The Norwegian Civil Service Union (Norwegian: Norsk Tjenestemannslag, NTL) is a trade union representing civil servants in Norway.

The union was founded on 1 November 1947 and affiliated to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions. By the end of the year, it had 800 members, but by 1965, this had grown to 25,000, making the largest union of civil servants in the country.[1] Its membership is now more than 50,000.[2]
