Adolf Østbye (February 1868 – September 5, 1907) was a Norwegian revue artist and barber who became the first person to make a recording in Norway. The earliest playable Norwegian phonograph cylinder dates from 1889.
During the years 1889–1904, Østbye made a series of cylinders, announced "Østbye Record". Several of these are made with cooperation with the Norwegian Pathé manager, William Farre.
