Bjørn Fongaard (2 March 1919 in Oslo – 26 October 1980 in Oslo) was a Norwegian composer, guitarist, and teacher.
In addition to being concerned with microtonal and electronic music, he was perhaps the first to use the prepared guitar.
"Fongaard's output is considerable...Due to the partly experimental notation, these works have not become widely known."
