- Cameroon–Norway relations are the bilateral and diplomatic relations between Cameroon and Norway. While neither country has an embassy in the other—Cameroon has its closest embassy in London, whereas Norway has an embassy in Abuja—the religious and cultural relations are the most significant.

NMS itself states that their presence in Cameroon was "a result of a greater vision of constructing a Bible belt across Africa to contain the increasing Muslim influence from the north". Notable missionaries include , who was decorated by newly independent Cameroon in 1960 for anti-slavery efforts, and Bjørn Bue, who was stationed in Tibati, Yoko and Ngaoundéré and partially represented the Federation of Protestant Churches and Missions of Cameroon. After returning to Norway and becoming bishop, Bue remained a key liaison in organizing cultural events involving Cameroon. Cameroonian football became popular in Norway following the 1986 and 1990 FIFA World Cups, especially with author Jon Michelet portraying Cameroon in a positive way.
