The Norwegian Sunday School Association (Norwegian: Norsk Søndagsskoleforbund) is an interest organization for sunday schools in Norway.

It welcomes schools affiliated with the Church of Norway, and is thus Evangelical-Lutheran in scope. It was founded in 1889, and currently has about 1,800 member schools.[1] It is itself a member body of the European Lutheran Sunday-school Association.[2] Chair of the board is Sebjørg Marie Jordheim, secretary-general is Erling Ekroll,[3] and the organizational headquarters are in Jordal, Gamle Oslo. Its slogan and vision is "Jesus to the kids".
