Kurds in Norway are Kurds living in Norway. The number of Kurds is estimated between 7,100 and 25,000 and they come mainly from countries in the Middle East. Most Norwegian Kurds live in the capital Oslo. In 1993, population of Kurds in Norway was estimated as 2,000 by Kurdish Institute of Paris (KIP).[3] In 2021, citing a report of the KIP, Rudaw estimates that between 25,000 and 30,000 Kurds reside in Norway.[4]
