Turks in Norway (Turkish: Norveç'teki Türkler) or Norwegian Turks (Turkish: Norveçli Türkler) refers to ethnic Turks living in Norway. The majority of Norwegian Turks descend from the Republic of Turkey; however there has also been Turkish migration from other post-Ottoman countries including ethnic Turkish communities which have come to Norway from the Balkans (e.g. from Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Romania), the island of Cyprus, and more recently Iraq and Syria.
