1972 Norwegian Second Division

The 1972 2. divisjon was a Norwegian second-tier football league season.

The league was contested by 35 teams, divided into a total of four groups; A and B (non-Northern Norwegian teams) and two district groups which contained teams from Northern Norway: district IX–X and district XI.
