The Royal Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry ({{langx|no|Nærings- og handelsdepartementet}}) was a Norwegian ministry responsible for business, trade and industry.

It was first created in 1916, as the Ministry of Trade (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade, Shipping and Industry). It took its final name in 1997. The department must report to the legislature, Storting.

On 1 January 2014, the ministry was dissolved and the minister portfolio was incorporated into the new Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries.[http://www.regjeringen.no/en/dep/nfd.html?id=709 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries]{{cite news|title=Slutt på Fiskeridepartementet|work=Klassekampen|date=3 January 2014|page=9|language=Norwegian}}

History

Responsibilities for trade and industry was originally established in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade, Shipping and Industry in 1903. It was not until 1916 where a separate ministry was formed, as the previous ministry was focused on social affairs. After this, the ministry underwent several name changes as a result of transfers of responsibilities.{{cite web|url=http://www.regjeringen.no/en/the-government/previous-governments/the-structure-of-the-registry/ministries-and-offices/government-secretariats-and-ministries-s/ministries-since-1814/ministry-of-trade-and-industry.html?id=426252|title=Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry|website=Government.no|access-date=2010-05-21}}
