Silje Vige (born May 24, 1976) is a Norwegian singer from Jørpeland outside of Stavanger.

Silje Vige is one of the most mysterious celebrities in Norway. Only 16 years old, in 1993, she entered the Norwegian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest, the Melodi Grand Prix, with an ethno-ballad written by her father. She won the final easily and represented Norway later that spring in Millstreet, (Ireland) with "Alle mine tankar" ("All my thoughts"). She finished in fifth place among the 25 participants.

She later released an album called Alle Mine Tankar with the following tracks:

1. "Ut Av Mitt Liv"
2. "Adle E Aleina"
3. "Et Eller Aent Sted Der Ute"
4. "Vi Vil Vite"
5. "Før Meg Tebage..."
6. "De Små, Rare Mennesker"
7. "Siste Skoledag"
8. "Så Stille Det Er Blitt"
9. "Brudd"
10. "Tenk Du På Meg"
11. "Dagdrøm"
12. "Leraren"
13. "Vibeke"
14. "Guden Som Forsvant"
15. "Jeg Vet En Hvile"
16. "Alle Mine Tankar"

Since this occurrence, no one really heard anything from her on a national level. She works today at Strand Kulturskole (culture school) with song and music.
