Ludvig Nessa (born 11 December 1949) is a Norwegian priest who has been noted as an anti-abortion activist since the late 1980s. Nessa was defrocked from the Church of Norway in 1991, which led him to co-found the independent Deanery of Strandebarm (later known as the "Church of Norway in Exile"), where he continued being a priest. Church services administered by Nessa have been broadcast on Visjon Norge since 2014.
