**Fredrik "Fritz" Frantz Michael Wilhelm Rustad** (19 July 1852 – 9 October 1930) was a Norwegian civil and royal servant.

He was born in [Kristiania](/source/Oslo) as a son of chamberlain Carl Emil Rustad and Henriette Benedicte Løvenskiold. In April 1880 in [Sinsen](/source/Sinsen) he married [Marie Magdalene Schou](/source/Marie_Magdalena_Rustad) (1859–1943), a daughter of [Halvor Schou](/source/Halvor_Schou).[1] Their son [Carl Rustad](/source/Carl_Rustad) became a military officer and company director, and married a sister of [Jean Heiberg](/source/Jean_Heiberg).[2] Their daughter Elisabeth Rustad (1883–1966) married the later Lord Chamberlain [Peter Fredrik Broch](/source/Peter_Fredrik_Broch) in 1905,[3] and their daughter Benedicte Rustad (1886–1976) married ship-owner [Thomas Fearnley](/source/Thomas_Fearnley_(1880%E2%80%931961)) in August 1911.[4]

He [finished](/source/Examen_artium) his secondary education at Nissen School in 1868, and took the [cand.jur.](/source/Cand.jur.) in 1873. He was hired in the [Ministry of the Interior](/source/Norwegian_Ministry_of_the_Interior) in 1873, and was promoted to assistant secretary in 1886. He became a servant at the royal court from January 1899. He had been *kammerjunker* since 1873 and chamberlain since 1878, and was now appointed as court marshal (*hoffmarskalk*). In 1905 Norway had the [personal union with Sweden](/source/Dissolution_of_the_union_between_Norway_and_Sweden_in_1905) dissolved, and [Haakon VII of Norway](/source/Haakon_VII_of_Norway) was elected as king. Rustad became his first [Lord Chamberlain](/source/Lord_Chamberlain_(Norway)) at the request from Prime Minister [Christian Michelsen](/source/Christian_Michelsen), and served as such until 1925. He was decorated with the Grand Cross of the [Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav](/source/Royal_Norwegian_Order_of_St._Olav).[1]
