Minister of the Navy and Postal Affairs

The Norwegian Minister of Navy and Postal Affairs was the head of the Norwegian Ministry of Navy and Postal Affairs. The position existed from 1815 to 1885, but was officially named Minister of the Navy and Postal Affairs only from 1861.

In 1861, the Ministry of Postal Affairs merged with the Ministry of the Navy, and the resulting Ministry of the Navy and Postal Affairs was regarded its direct successor. Prior to this, the ministry had been known under various other names.
