Egil Kristian Holst Torkildsen (21 July 1916 – 17 July 1979 ^[1]) was a Norwegian national socialist editor and activist. ^{[2] [3]}

A strong proponent of pan-German national socialism, he was a member of the National Socialist Workers' Party of Norway (NNSAP) during the 1930s, until reluctantly joining Nasjonal Samling (NS) in 1940, some months after the NNSAP was dissolved. ^[2] He was editor of Norsk Folkeblad in 1939–40, and a staff member of Hirden until he was hired as editor of Germaneren, the paper of Germanske SS Norge (GSSN) in 1942. ^{[2] [3]} Along with the leader of GSSN, Leif Schøren, Torkildsen was set aside by NS in January 1945 and sent to Germany after attempts of a pro-German coup against Vidkun Quisling and NS. ^{[2] [4]} He was enrolled in the Waffen-SS during the final stage of the war. ^[3] Arriving in Berlin on 2 April, he fled on 16 April, and reached Denmark fourteen days later. ^[2]

Torkildsen was sentenced to five years imprisonment for treason after the war. ^[2] As a wanted traitor, Torkildsen fled from Norway in 1947 along with four other Norwegian Nazis on the sailboat Mi Casa, and arrived in A Coruña, Spain. ^[3] From Spain he travelled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he became chairman of a local association of Norwegian Nazis. ^[3] In 1956 Torkildsen contacted Norwegian authorities asking to return to Norway. ^[3] He died in 1979 and is buried at Vestre gravlund in Oslo. ^[1]
