Alf Larsen Whist (6 August 1880 – 16 July 1962) was a Norwegian businessperson and politician for Nasjonal Samling.

[1] Following the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany which started on 9 April 1940, Whist made himself a new career as a profiteer.

Its purpose was in part to establish a network of NS sympathizers in the Norwegian business life and to recruit businesspeople to the party,[1] but the mandate was vague.

[6] Norges Næringssamband was also used as a personal vehicle for political power, as well as an organization to outline technological visions for a future Fascist Norway.

[4] On 4 November 1943 Whist's power platform became even larger, as he was named in Quisling's Second Cabinet as a minister without portfolio, responsible for the coordination of provisions and industrial war efforts.

As a part of the legal purge in Norway after World War II, in 1946 he was sentenced to forced labour for life as well as 3 million kr in repairs.
