Norwegian of the Year () is a distinction awarded by the leftist news magazine Ny Tid (lit. 'New Age'). Established in 2007, the prize has been awarded to several persons, including Norwegian citizens of foreign origin and a German citizen living in Norway.
Following a public debate on the definition of the term Norwegian (a demonym; , lit. 'Northman') more specifically whether Norwegian citizens of foreign origin should be called nordmann or—considered as more neutral—norsk (an adjective; ), the magazine instituted the distinction ÃÂ rets nordmann, i.e. 'Norwegian of the Year', in 2007. The first recipient was actress Kohinoor Nordberg, originally from Bangladesh.
