Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani (SNSK), or simply Store Norske, is a Norwegiancoal mining company based on the Svalbard archipelago. It was formed in 1916, after a Norwegian purchase of the AmericanArctic Coal Company (ACC).

The company had 360 employees and operated two coal mines. The larger one was located in the Sveagruva settlement, about 60 km south of Longyearbyen. The Svea Nord longwall mine had an annual output of 2 million tonnes of bituminous coal. A third of it was sold for metallurgical purposes. The managing director of Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani was Per Andersson. The Sveagruva mine closed in 2017.

The Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani had a shipping port at Cape Amsterdam, 15 km from Sveagruva.

In 2025, with the closure of Mine 7, SNSK ceased coal mining in Svalbard.
