The Norwegian Union of Textile Workers (Norwegian: Norsk Tekstilarbeiderforbund, NTF) was a trade union representing workers in the textile industry in Norway.

The union was founded on 1 November 1924, as a split from the Norwegian Union of General Workers.[1] It affiliated to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions.[2] By 1968, it had 8,650 members. The following year, it merged with the Norwegian Union of Clothing Workers and the Norwegian Union of Shoe Makers, forming the Garment Workers' Union.[3]
