Hedmarken (since 2003 the official spelling decided by Klagenemnda for stedsnavnssaker[1]), but also called Hedemarken) is a traditional district in the county of Hedmark in eastern Norway, consisting of the municipalities of Stange, Hamar, Løten, and Ringsaker. The district is dominated by rolling agricultural terrain, hilly green mountains, and pine forests.

The county of Hedmark is named after the district of Hedmarken but includes other districts as well, such as Østerdalen.
