Bjørg Riiser-Larsen (September 28, 1916 – August 13, 2000) was a Norwegian actress.

Riiser-Larsen appeared in several Norwegian films, and in 2006 the magazine Rushprint named her the greatest Norwegian film diva of all time.[1] On the Rushprint website, the writer Kjell Ola Dahl describes Riiser-Larsen as a "film noir diva" and "femme fatale." Her starring role in the film Døden er et kjærtegn[2][3] was a strong contributor to this assessment.[1]
