Tor Njaa (23 October 1912 – 5 September 1944) was a Norwegian resistance member of World War II.

He was born in Flekkefjord, to a mother from Flekkefjord and a father from Time, and had attended middle school and commercial school.

He also operated an illegal communication post.

He then sat at Grini concentration camp from March to June 1943 and October to November 1943. He was then sent to Germany. He died in September 1944, en route to Natzweiler concentration camp.
