Central Norway (Bokmål: Midt-Norge, Nynorsk: Midt-Noreg) is an informal region of Norway that is not clearly defined. The term Central Norway may in its most limited usage refer only to Trøndelag county, but may also be understood to include all or parts of the county of Møre og Romsdal, some parts of Nordland county as well as some municipalities in the northern part of Innlandet county.
The regional newspaper Adresseavisen defines Midt-Norge as Trøndelag, Nordmøre, and some municipalities in the northern part of Innlandet county. This also corresponds to the area covered by the newspaper.
The most used definition is that it covers all of Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal counties and compared with the traditional regions of Norway it therefore covers all of Trøndelag and some of Vestlandet regions. By this definition it has a total population of just under 760,000 people, with the Trondheim metropolitan region accounting for roughly 275,000.
There has been some political movement towards replacing the counties with larger regions. It is then expected that much of Central Norway, at least Trøndelag and Nordmøre, will form one such region due to the historical, cultural and linguistic ties.
