This is a list of Christian religious houses, both extant and dissolved, in Norway, for both men and women. All those before the Reformation were of course Catholic; the modern ones are a mixture of Catholic and Protestant communities.
All Norway's medieval religious houses that were still extant were dissolved during the Reformation.
