Kåre Isaachsen Willoch ( Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈkòːrə ˈìːsɑksn̩ ˈvɪ̀lːɔk] ; 3 October 1928 – 6 December 2021) was a Norwegian politician who served as the prime minister of Norway from 1981 to 1986 and as leader of the Conservative Party from 1970 to 1974. He previously served as the minister of trade and shipping from August to September 1963 and 1965 to 1970, and as the president of the Nordic Council in 1973.

After stepping down as prime minister, he later served as Governor of both Oslo as well as Akershus counties from 1990 to 1998 and as chairman of Norway's state broadcasting company NRK from 1998 to 2000. Following his retirement from politics he became an outspoken advocate of the environment and human rights and was widely respected for his activism including amongst Norway's political left. He also wrote several books.
