The Snøgg class was a Royal Norwegian Navy class of fast patrol boats (FPB). It might also be classified as a torpedo boat or a missile boat. In Norway this type of vessel is called a missile torpedo boat (MTB). The class was named after its lead vessel, Snøgg, which is a Norwegian word meaning "fast". All of the subsequent names are synonyms of "fast".

Six vessels were built during 1970 and 1971 to replace the ageing Rapp class. Designed by Lieutenant-commander (later Captain) Harald Henriksen as a development of the Storm-class. None of the vessels are left in Norwegian service today, they have been succeeded by the Hauk-class and Skjold-class class.

All boats were decommissioned by 1995

NOTE: In Norwegian, Royal Norwegian Navy vessels are given the prefix "KNM", short for Kongelige Norske Marine (Royal Norwegian Ship)
           - or in English 'HNoMS' for His Norwegian Majesty's Ship
