挪威裔美国人勋章（英語：Norse-American medal）是费城铸币局根据国会法案于1925年铸造的一种勋章，旨在纪念“”乘载首批挪威移民抵达美国。 明尼苏达州联邦众议员是挪威裔美国人的后代，他希望为复辟号抵达美国的百年庆典发行纪念币。提议遭财政部拒绝后，他又建议发行勋章。勋章由野牛镍币的设计者詹姆斯·厄尔·弗雷泽设计，正面描绘一名维京战士，背面则是维京长船，以此代表挪威移民的先祖维京人。 获得国会授权后，铸币局生产了多种不同尺寸和材质的勋章。百年庆典活动于1925年6月在明尼阿波利斯举行，大部分纪念勋章都是在此之前面世。金质勋章只发行53枚，如今已是稀世珍品；银质和铜质勋章相比之下则要廉价得多。这些勋章有时会作为纪念币系列的组成部分获得收藏。

The Norse-American medal was struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1925, pursuant to an act of the United States Congress. It was issued for the 100th anniversary of the voyage of the ship Restauration, bringing early Norwegian immigrants to the United States. U.S. Representative from Minnesota Ole Juulson Kvale, a Norse-American, wanted a commemorative for the centennial celebrations of the Restauration journey. Rebuffed by the Treasury Department when he sought the issuance of a special coin, he instead settled for a medal. Sculpted by Buffalo nickel designer James Earle Fraser, the medals recognize those immigrants' Viking heritage, depicting a warrior of that culture on the obverse and his vessel on the reverse. The medals also recall the early Viking explorations of North America. Once authorized by Congress, they were produced in various metals and sizes, for the most part prior to the celebrations near Minneapolis in June 1925. Only 53 were issued in gold, and they are rare and valuable today; those struck in silver or bronze have appreciated much less in value. They are sometimes collected as part of the U.S. commemorative coin series.
