Finn Moestue Huseby (11 May 1905 – 2001) was a Norwegian priest. He graduated as a Candidate of Theology in 1930. He worked as seamen's priest in New Orleans from 1931 to 1934, in Antwerp from 1935 to 1936, and in Hamburg from 1936 to 1942.[1] He had to leave Germany because of a conflict with Nazi-friendly Norwegians in Germany, and assistant priest Arne Berge took over after him as the seamen's priest in Hamburg.[2] He was parish priest in Brandbu from 1946.[1]
Huseby was decorated Knight First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 1945, for his work for prisoners in Germany during the Second World War.[1]
