Norske Talenter (English: Norwegian Talents) is a Norwegian-based talent show with a similar format to Britain's Got Talent, which thus makes it one of the Got Talent franchise programmes. The 16-year-old singer Erlend Bratland won the first series and Quick, a hip hop dance group,won the second series. The judges were music producer Jan Fredrik Karlsen, singer and actress and comedian/actor Thomas Giertsen. In 2008 and Sturla Berg-Johansen were hosts, and in 2008, Berg-Johansen joined to be hosts.

For a list of all acts performed throughout in the series see List of Norske Talenter Acts.

40 acts got through to the semi-finals and 10 acts got through to the final. Winner was 16-year-old singer Erlend Bratland, 8-year-old hula hoop artist Vegard F. Dommersnes came runner-up and 12-year-old singer Nora Foss al-Jabri came 3rd.

32 acts got through to the semi-finals and 9 acts got through to the final. This year they had one extra semi-final they called the "Extra Chance" where the judges picked 8 acts from the season (auditions or semi-finals) they wanted to get an extra chance. From that show, only one act got through and had to win the public vote. That contestant was Lydia Hoen Tjore, who came in 2nd, because Quick (winners) beat her in the judges' vote challenge semi-final 3. Winner was hip hop dance group Quick with the ages 17–18, 14-year-old classical singer Lydia Hoen Tjore came runner-up and 6-year-old magician Brian Aksnes Hoseth came 3rd.

The third series ran from March 2010 to late May 2010. Both Thomas Giertsen and Mia Gundersen returned as judges, but Jan Fredrik Karlsen did not, and got replaced by Alex Rosen. In the end, rapper , A.K.A. "Sirius", won the first prize of 500,000 NOK.

The fourth series introduced a new judge, Adil Khan, as well as Mia Gundersen and Alex Rosen. The first prize was 500,000 NOK, and the winner was 11-year-old dancer , described by judge Adil as "being as good as Michael Jackson."
