A referendum on whether Norway should join the European Community was held on 25 September 1972. After a long period of heated debate, the "No" side won with 53.5 per cent of the vote. Prime Minister Trygve Bratteli resigned as a result of the defeat.

A 1994 refendum on entry into what had become the European Union also resulted in the rejection of membership.
