About E. Herbert Norman
- Egerton Herbert Norman (September 1, 1909 – April 4, 1957) was a Canadian diplomat and historian.

- During the Red Scare of the 1950s Norman was accused of being a communist or even a spy, though investigations found no corroboration and he was defended by Canadian authorities.
- He committed suicide in 1957.
