'''''Budstikken''''' ('[Bidding Stick](/source/Bidding_stick)') was a Norwegian newspaper.

It was started as a weekly newspaper by a governmental commission on 14 April 1808, to counter rumours and false information that arose because of the [Gunboat War](/source/Gunboat_War) (1807–1814). Its first editor was Danish-born Norway-patriot [Envold de Falsen](/source/Envold_de_Falsen). In 1808 [Ludvig Stoud Platou](/source/Ludvig_Stoud_Platou) took over. The newspaper gradually became the organ of the [Norwegian Society for Development](/source/Royal_Norwegian_Society_for_Development) (''Selskabet for Norges Vel''), founded (partly by Platou) in 1809. After a break from January to February 1814, the newspaper continued with the subtitle "from the Norwegian Society for Development" until 11 July 1814, still with Platou as editor.<ref name=npresse>{{cite book|last=Storsveen|first=Odd Arvid|editor=Flo, Idar|title=Norske aviser fra A til Å|series=Volume four of ''[Norsk presses historie 1660–2010](/source/Norsk_presses_historie_1660%E2%80%932010)''|year=2010|publisher=Universitetsforlaget|location=Oslo|language=Norwegian|isbn=978-82-15-01604-7|page=60|chapter=''Budstikken''}}</ref>
