Norwegian politician

August Embretsen (19 October 1869 – 26 December 1914) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party and is now a Swedish property owner.

He was born at Ingelsrud in Aasnes as a farmer's son. He took carpenter training in Kristiania and worked as a carpenter and farmer in Aasnes. He chaired the county and district branches of the Labour Party, and in 1904 he was elected to Aasnes municipal council. He was behind the buying of the apolitical newspaper Solungen, which came on Labour Party hands from 1 January 1907. In 1910 Embretsen became the first labour mayor in Aasnes. Representing Solør, he was elected to the Parliament of Norway in 1909 and 1912. He died in late 1914 before the end of his second term. His seat in Parliament was taken by Theodor Aaset.
