The Norwegian Post Organisation (Norwegian: Den norske Postorganisasjon, DNP) was a trade union representing postal workers in Norway.

The union was founded in 1977, when the National Union of Postal Clerks merged with the Norwegian Union of Postal Officials.[1] It affiliated to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions, and by 1983, it had 13,015 members. This rose to 14,366 in 1996.[2]

In 2000, the union merged with the Norwegian Union of Postmen, to form the Norwegian Post and Communications Union.[3]
