Johan Ulrik Olsen (2 August 1885 – 4 October 1963) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party.
He was born in Hitteren as a son of farmer Peder Olsen (1847–1933) og Dorothea Hesnes (1848–1931).
He became a journeyman carpenter in 1899, at the age of 14, and worked in that field until 1914, when he started his own fishing business.
[1] Olsen was elected to the Parliament of Norway in 1933, representing the constituency Market towns of Møre og Romsdal county.
As he was not actually present in Parliament while serving as a Minister, his seat was taken by deputies Gottfred Hoem (1948–1950), Karl Johan Aarønes (1950–1954), Peter Kjeldseth Moe (1954–1956), Arnfinn Severin Roald (1956–1958) and Oscar Andreas Ingebrigtsen (1958–1958).
