Lars Korvaldⓘ (29 April 1916 – 4 July 2006) was a Norwegian politician and educator who served as the prime minister of Norway from 1972 to 1973.

As prime minister he led the cabinet that took over when Trygve Bratteli resigned in the wake of the first referendum over Norway's membership in the European Economic Community.

In 1938, the estate was purchased by the Norwegian Lutheran Mission (Det norske lutherske Indremisjonsselskap) which established a high school and a modern farm operation on the property.

Though short-lived, his cabinet served as an important milestone in Norwegian politics, both because it marked the conclusion of the bitter and divisive debate over Norway's membership in the European Economic Community (EEC) and because it was a centrist non-socialist coalition.

[10] Korvald proved to be an effective prime minister in a very difficult and transitional political situation.

His cabinet commissioned the negotiations for a trade treaty with the EEC and instituted Norway's first petroleum policy.
