The '''Norwegian Authors' Union''' ({{langx|no|Den norske Forfatterforening}}, DnF) is an association of [[Norway|Norwegian]] authors. It was established in 1893 to promote Norwegian literature and protect Norwegian authors' professional and economic interests. DnF also works in solidarity with persecuted writers internationally.<ref>[http://www.forfatterforeningen.no/v2/content/english Norwegian Authors' Union official site] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081226034502/http://www.forfatterforeningen.no/v2/content/english |date=2008-12-26 }}</ref>
