Norman Howard Bangerter (January 4, 1933 – April 14, 2015) was an American politician and businessman who served as the 13th governor of Utah from 1985 to 1993.

Prior to his election, Bangerter founded a successful construction firm which specialized in building homes.

This was initially successful, yet caused some controversy when the lake's water level fell in later years, and some regarded the idle pumps as wasteful.

[1] After his retirement as governor, Bangerter returned to his construction firm and served for three years as president of the South Africa Johannesburg Mission of the LDS Church from 1996 to 1999.

In 2008, Bangerter was appointed to the Governing Board for the national children's charity Operation Kids.
