Olav Berntsen Oksvik (7 May 1887 – 16 September 1958) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour and Social Democratic Labour parties. He served as a member of the Parliament of Norway from 1928 until 1952 and then as the County Governor of Møre og Romsdal county from 1952 until his death in 1958.[1][2]

In 1928 he helped launch the newspaper Romsdal Folkeblad.[3] In January 1941 he was ordered by Nasjonal Samling to become mayor of the municipality of Bolsøy, which he categorically refused.[4] He temporarily served as the acting Minister of Agriculture from 1947 to 1948 in place of Kristian Fjeld.[1]
