Lindeberg is an underground Oslo Metro station on the Furuset Line (Line 2). It sits between Trosterud and Furuset stations in Oslo, Norway, about 9.5 kilometers from Stortinget, the city center. The station opened on 19 February 1978 when the Trosterud–Furuset section of the line started operating. The area around the station is residential, and nearby Jerikobakken is a hill used for downhill skiing.

Art and design: In 1976, artist Gunnar Torvund created 14 rectangular concrete reliefs on the station walls to give a calm appearance. In 1990 a school class painted bright graffiti-like images on the walls, which art historians later viewed as vandalism. In 1999, the subway company restored much of the original plain gray color.

Facts: Coordinates are 59.93278°N, 10.88194°E. Elevation is 156.5 meters. The station is owned by Sporveien and operated by Sporveien T-banen.
