The line of succession to the Norwegian throne is the list of people who may become King or Queen of Norway.[1]

Since 1990, Norwegian law identifies the eldest child of a Norwegian monarch the royal heir. The first-born child follows his or her parent on the throne.[2] This is known as full or equal primogeniture.
