Portrait of Ivar Hvamstad

Ivar Hvamstad (28 September 1878 – 9 May 1916) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party.

He was born at Hilden in Thingelstad, Brandbu as a son of teacher and farmer Iver Larsen Hvamstad (1843–1903) and Marthe Pedersdatter Alm (1846–1928). After finishing primary school he attended school in Gran. He was a trade clerk in Drøbak and Nes i Romerike, and started his own store in 1898. He ran a store in Hof i Solør until 1911, then in Brandval.[1]

In Hof he was a member of the municipal council from 1907 to 1910, and also the school board. He chaired the constituency branch of the Labour Party in Solør.[1] In the 1915 parliamentary election he was fielded as Labour's candidate, and with 3,679 votes he edged out the closest challenger, Liberal Per Aasness with a wide margin.[2] Hvamstad assumed his parliamentary seat in early 1916, but died in May 1916. He was replaced by his deputy Halvdan Aarsrud.[1]
