Telefonterroristen (Telephone Terrorist) was a two part radio play directed by film maker Torstein Blixfjord, first broadcast on NRK in 1996. The play was inspired by the infamous Norweigan telephone terrorist Sven Høgda.

First convicted in 1977, Høgda became the first Scandanavian convicted for telephone terrorism. He later targeted the judge who sentenced him – first getting his car towed, then having a large quantity of chicken excrement delivered to the judge’s lawn, in the judge's own name. He frequently targeted police officers with false reports of murders, and was re-arrested a number of times.

Having written the script, Blixfjord and his production team proceeded to 'mildly terrorise' the head of the drama department at NRK using innocent versions of Høgda's own techniques, for example sending flowers, rather than chicken excrement. This went on for a number of days before they sent the script, which was commissioned on the spot.
