Johan Ulrik Olsen (2 August 1885 – 4 October 1963) was a

.
He was born in
Norges kooperative landsforening, and from 1913 to 1940 and 1945 to 1947 he was the board chairman of the local newspaper Tidens Krav. He was a member of Kristiansund city council from 1913 to 1951, serving as mayor from 1934 to 1940 and 1945 to 1947. He also chaired the city school board from 1928 to 1933.[1]
Olsen was elected to the
Norwegian Minister of Local Government and Labour.[1] He was the first to hold this position,[2] and served in both Gerhardsen's Second Cabinet, Torp's Cabinet and Gerhardsen's Third Cabinet. As he was not actually present in Parliament while serving as a Minister, his seat was taken by deputies Gottfred Hoem (1948–1950), Karl Johan Aarønes (1950–1954), Peter Kjeldseth Moe (1954–1956), Arnfinn Severin Roald (1956–1958) and Oscar Andreas Ingebrigtsen (1958–1958).[1]
