The Rigsdagen of Norden (Dalish: Nordisk Rigsdagen), is the bicameral legislature of the Nordic Kingdom.

The Rigsdagen consists of two houses, the upper house known as the Adelskammer or Chamber of Nobility; and the lower house known as the Folkekammer or the Chamber of the People.

Following the 2018 general election, the largest party in the Folkekammer was the National Party with 142 seats. As the largest party in the lower house, the National Party also controls the government of Norden, with Magnus Kjærsgaard holding the post of Chancellor. The second largest party in the Folkekammer is the Labour Party with 98 which forms the official opposition. The third largest party is the Liberal Party with 6 seats.
