Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Norway is a small minority religion in Norway with 11,205 official members in 2012,[2] up from 2,315 in 2000.[3] although the church is rapidly growing, and predicted to surpass other Christian denominations.[4]

During 2022, approximately 34,000 Ukrainians arrived in Norway after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine; it was estimated that approximately two-thirds of them identified as Orthodox.[5]
