Parliamentary elections were held in Norway on 7 and 8 September 1969. Although the Labour Party remained the largest party, winning 74 of the 150 seats, the coalition of right-wing parties won 76 seats. The closeness of the result and fears of the two blocs winning an equal number of seats led to the number of seats being increased to an odd number for the next elections.

^a The joint list of the Conservative Party and the Christian People's Party won two seats, with the parties taking one each.

^b The joint list of the Centre Party and the Christian People's Party won four seats, three taken by the Centre Party and one by the Christian People's Party.
