Martin Jensen Linge (11 December 1894 – 27 December 1941) was a former Norwegian actor who, in World War II, became the commander of the Norwegian Independent Company 1 (NOR.I.C.1) (pronounced as Norisen by the Norwegians), formed in March 1941 for operations on behalf of the Special Operations Executive.
Although Linge was killed during a raid to Måløy (Operation Archery), the unit he had led became known as Kompani Linge (Linge Company) or, more formally Lingekompaniet (The Linge Company) ('-et' being the definite article suffix), by Norwegians.

He was awarded Norway's highest military decoration for gallantry, the War Cross with sword.
