The Norway Debate, sometimes called the Narvik Debate, was a famous debate in the British House of Commons that took place on May 7 and May 8 1940. Ostensibly a debate over one theatre of battle, the Norwegian Campaign, the debate witnessed a massive outpouring of criticism and hostility towards the general conduct of the war and the government of Neville Chamberlain.

Two days later Chamberlain resigned and was succeeded by Winston Churchill.
