Akershus is a traditional region, former and future county, and current electoral district in Norway, with Oslo as its main city and traditional capital.

After 2020 the former county of Akershus was merged into Viken along with the former counties of Østfold and Buskerud. In 2022 the Storting voted to dissolve Viken and reestablish Akershus county.
