Arne Joachim Bendiksen (19 October 1926 – 26 March 2009) was a Norwegian singer, composer, and producer, described as "the father of pop music" in Norway.

In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, he was a major figure in Norwegian popular music, first as a member of the group The Monn Keys, later as a soloist and composer for other artists.

Arne Bendiksen took part in the Norwegian Eurovision Song Contest selections several times, both as an artist and as a songwriter.

Four times he took part as composer, most memorable as songwriter for Åse Kleveland's Intet er nytt under solen in 1966 (Eurovision Song Contest), finishing third.

In June 2006, his all-new self-composed children's musical stage debuted in the small elementary school Fjellstrand Skole in Nesodden, Akershus.
