The Snøgg class was a Royal Norwegian Navy class of fast patrol boats (FPB). It might also be classified as a torpedo boat or a missile boat. In Norway this type of vessel is called a missile torpedo boat (MTB). The class was named after its lead vessel, Snøgg, which is a Norwegian word meaning "fast". All of the subsequent names are synonyms of "fast".
Six vessels were built during 1970 and 1971 to replace the ageing Rapp class. Designed by Lieutenant-commander (later Captain) Harald Henriksen as a development of the Storm-class. None of the vessels are left in Norwegian service today, they have been succeeded by the Hauk-class and Skjold-class class.
