Haakon Sørbye (16 March 1920 – 15 September 2016) was a Norwegian engineer and resistance member during World War II.

Sørbye attended secondary school at Stabekk, and enrolled at the Norwegian Institute of Technology on 1 September 1939 — the day World War II began.

In April 1940, the war reached Norway, with Nazi Germany invading and occupying the country.

[1] In September 1940, the British Secret Intelligence Service established two stations for radio communication in occupied Norway; the so-called Skylark A was led by Sverre Midtskau in Oslo while Skylark B was led by Erik Welle-Strand in Trondheim.

Despite health problems,[3] he survived until the end of World War II, and was brought home with the White Buses.

[6] After his retirement he has spent much time as a guide with the White Buses,[7] work for which he was awarded a King's Medal of Merit in 2015.
