The Norwegian Farmers and Smallholders Union (Norwegian: Norsk Bonde- og SmÄbrukarlag) is a Norwegian interest organization for farmers.

Its secretary-general is Olaf Godli, and the chair is Ole-Anton Teigen. It has 7,000 members, with 260 local chapters and 18 county chapters. The headquarters are in Oslo. The members' newspaper is Bonde og SmÄbruker.
