The Nordisk Defence Club (Norwegian: Nordisk Skibsrederforening) is an interest organisation operating in the Nordic countries.

It was established in Copenhagen in 1889 and moved to Oslo in 1893 (a Danish Defence Club was founded in 1925). Its purpose is to act as a law firm for the clients who have registered ships and oil rigs with the club.[1]

During its first 70 years it had only two chief executives; Johannes Jantzen from 1889 to 1935 and Niels Juell Dybwad from 1935 to 1960. Dybwad was succeeded by his son-in-law Per Gram.[2] Gram served until 1978 when Ole Lund took over. Chief executive since 2000 is Georg Scheel,[3] and chairman of the board is Nils P. Dyvik.[4] Its organizational headquarters are at Elisenberg, and it also has an office in Singapore.
