Norske Løve was a ship with 36 cannons owned and operated by the Danish East India Company. The ship’s bell is dated to 1704, although a Norske Løve was recorded as running a cargo of slaves for the Danish East India Company in the Indian Ocean in 1682. Similarly, a Norske Løve is recorded calling at the Danish colony of Tranquebar in 1690 and 1706, although this may have been one of the numerous Dano-Norwegian Navy vessels of that name.

A poem (folk song) about the event is commonly used accompanied with the Faroese chain dance in the Faroe Islands, it is written in Danish. The title is Norske Løve. The Faroese author Jógvan Isaksen has written a crime fiction with the title Norska Løva, published in 2010.
