Hans Jørgen Lysglimt, also known as Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen, (born 13 September 1971) is a Norwegian entrepreneur, politician and social commentator.

Lysglimt was born in Fredrikstad and graduated from Lund University in 1996 with a degree in business and economics (Siviløkonom).

From 2000 to 2003 he was the leader of the Free Democrats.[1][2][3] Since 2012 he has been a leader of the Mises Institute of Norway, which he co-founded.[4] He is a candidate for the 6th seat in Oslo in the 2013 election to the Storting on behalf of the Pirate Party.[5][6]

In 1999, he founded the Runbox e-mail company, which has worked on issues of personal privacy and surveillance. In April 2010, he video interviewed Julian Assange.[7] In June 2013 he went public with information on how the FBI had used Norwegian law to require him to surrender personal information about a customer and to instruct him to keep the matter confidential.[5][8][9][10][11]

He headed the effort to relaunch the classic economics journal Farmand,[12][13][14][15] and now heads the new online version at the modern Norwegian spelling Farmann.[16]
