The State Conciliator of Norway (Norwegian: Riksmekleren (until 2012: Riksmeklingsmannen)) is a mediator's office of Norway. It is invoked in labour disputes, in other words when tariff agreements are disagreed upon.

It was established in 1915, and the first State Conciliator took office in 1916. The headquarters are in Oslo.
