**Just Lippe** (13 January 1904 – 24 March 1978) was a Norwegian journalist and politician for the [Communist Party](/source/Communist_Party_of_Norway).

He was born in [Bergen](/source/Bergen)[1] as the son of Jakob von der Lippe (1870–1954). He was related to the von der Lippes family (as follows): brothers [Frits](/source/Frits_von_der_Lippe) and [Jens](/source/Jens_von_der_Lippe), brother-in-law [Margrethe](/source/Margrethe_von_der_Lippe), grandson of [Conrad Fredrik](/source/Conrad_Fredrik_von_der_Lippe), great-grandson of Bishop [Jacob](/source/Jacob_von_der_Lippe) and first cousin once removed of Admiral [Jakob](/source/Jakob_von_der_Lippe)[2] and whaler [Anton](/source/Anton_Barth_von_der_Lippe).[3]

He joined the [Norwegian Labour Party](/source/Norwegian_Labour_Party) in 1921, but joined the Communist Party when it split from Labour.[1] In 1927 he was imprisoned (five weeks of [detention](/source/Remand_(detention)), without conviction) together with [Henry W. Kristiansen](/source/Henry_W._Kristiansen), [Otto Luihn](/source/Otto_Luihn) and [Albin Eines](/source/Albin_Eines), after a police raid in the party offices.[4] He was a secretary in the [Young Communist League of Norway](/source/Young_Communist_League_of_Norway) from 1925 to 1929,[1] and chaired the organization from 1927 to 1928. In 1928 he became an executive committee member of the [Young Communist International](/source/Young_Communist_International).[5] In 1929 he became a member of the Communist Party secretariat.[1] In the early 1930s he headed the Scandinavian section of the [International Lenin School](/source/International_Lenin_School) in Moscow, before he was relocated to [Vladivostok](/source/Vladivostok).[5] He later returned to Norway. He was a central board member of the Communist Party from 1937 to 1945 and 1950 to 1972. From 1949 to 1963 he was the party secretary.[1] During the Second World War, he fled to Sweden in 1941 to escape the [German occupation of Norway](/source/German_occupation_of_Norway). He was imprisoned in Sweden for a year and a half, and when released, he continued to the United Kingdom where he enrolled in the [Norwegian military-in-exile](/source/Norwegian_Armed_Forces_in_exile).[5]

He worked as a journalist in *[Arbeideren](/source/Arbeideren)* before the war, and in *[Friheten](/source/Friheten)* from 1947 to 1949.[1] In 1963 he edited the official party history, *Norges kommunistiske partis historie*.[6]
