Melodi Grand Prix Junior, also spelled as MGP jr. and MGPjr, is a Norwegian television music competition for children and adolescents under the age of 16. The contestants sings primarily in Norwegian, but it has also been sung in Sami, another language of Norway.

Between 2003 and 2005, Norway sent its winners to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest (JESC), when MPG Nordic wasn't active. In 2006 Norway withdrew itself from JESC, along with Denmark and Sweden, to participate in Melodi Grand Prix Nordic instead.

Between 2006 and 2009 the contest was also the national final that selected the entry to represent Norway in the Melodi Grand Prix Nordic junior singing competition, a specialized Scandinavian competition for children and adolescents. From 2010 and onwards, MGPjr ends in the national final after the winner song is selected.
