Karelius August Arntzen (10 November 1802–1876) was a Norwegian politician.
He was born in Copenhagen,[1] where his father Andreas Arntzen took his jurist education. He moved to his father's home country Norway in 1821, and graduated as cand.jur. in 1827. He then worked as a civil servant for some time.[1]
He was later County Governor of Søndre Trondhjems Amt (today named Sør-Trøndelag) from 1840 to 1857, and of Christiania (Oslo) from 1857 to 1874.[2] He died in 1876.[1]
He was appointed acting councillor of state in the interim government which was founded during King Carl XV's illness in 1861, but did not actually assume office.[3]
