Norman H. Bangerter (born January 4, 1933) (nicknamed "Norm") was Governor of Utah from 1985 to 1993. Bangerter was the thirteenth governor of the state, and the first Republican elected to the position since 1965.

Prior to his election, Bangerter founded a successful construction firm that specialized in building homes. He served in the Utah house of Representatives from 1975 to 1985.

During his tenure as governor, Bangerter dealt with the flooding of the Great Salt Lake and its tributaries by approving the construction of large, expensive (US$60 Million ) pumps to channel excess water from the Great Salt Lake into the Bonneville Salt Flats. This was initially successful, yet caused some controversy when the lake's water level fell in later years, and some regarded the idle pumps as wasteful.

Bangerter's "foremost interest was improving the state's educational system" [1].

After his retirement as governor, Bangerter returned to his construction firm.

The Bangerter Highway (U-154 ), which opened in 1998, was named after the former governor, who had long supported such a road.
