Youngstorget ("Young's Square") is a square and marketplace in Oslo, Norway.
It is located on the street Torggata, between Storgata and Møllergata. The square was traditionally used as a market place for trade with agricultural produce. It is named for merchant Jørgen Young (1784–1837). It was named Nytorvet ("New Square") in 1852, which was its official name until 1951. Surrounding the square are the head offices of the Norwegian Labour Party, the Liberal Party and the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions.
