Morten Michael Kallevig (16 April 1842 – 1936) was a Norwegian businessperson and politician.
He was born in Arendal as a son of consul Emil Kallevig (1807–1889) and Margaretha Dedekam (1809–1883). In 1868 he married Wilhelmine Petrea Franziska Skrike,[1] from Copenhagen.[2] They had the sons Adolf Skrike Kallevig, Julius Skrike Kallevig and Johannes Kallevig who all became businessmen.[3][4]
Morten Michael Kallevig spent his career as owner of the company Salve Kallevig & Søn,[1] founded by his great-grandfather Salve Johannessøn Kallevig in 1792 and expanded by his grandfather Morten Michael Kallevig.[5] He also owned Tangen farm, the reperbahn Tangen Reperbane[1] and Arendals Tobaksfabrik[6] and was vice consul for the United Kingdom for about fifty years from 1872.[1] This consul position had been inherited from father to son since the early 1800s. Kallevig was also Danish consul until 1907.[6]
