Anders Lange (1904 - October 18 1974) was the founder of what later became the Norwegian Progress party.

In 1973 he founded his own party with the long but telling name Anders Lange's Party for strong reductions of taxes, charges and government intervention. The protest movement was an immediate success, capturing 5% of the votes in the parliament election the same year. By that Lange secured himself a seat in the Norwegian parliament where he served untill he died of heart failure the next year.
