Waldemar Hvoslef (1825—1906) was a Norwegian Lutheran bishop. He was born in Christiania and grew up in Holmestrand. Hvoslef served as minister in Kautokeino at the time of the Sami revolt in 1852, when two men, the local sheriff and the tradesman, were killed. He was later pastor for the convicted Mons Somby and Aslak Hætta at their execution in 1854. He was appointed Bishop of Tromsø stift in 1868. In 1881 he was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Bjørgvin, and served in this position until his retirement in 1898.[1][2]
