The Norwegian Savings Banks Association (Norwegian: Sparebankforeningen) is the trade organization for savings banks in Norway.

It was founded in 1914 as Centralforeningen for Norges Sparebanker.

In 2010 it founded the cooperation organization Finance Norway together with the Norwegian Financial Services Association.[3] Both organizations still exist, but not their respective "service offices", whose tasks were taken over by Finance Norway.[4] The headquarters are in Oslo.
