Hedmarken (Urban East Norwegian: [ˈhêːdmɑrkn̩], locally [ˈhɛ̂mɑrkɑ]; known as Hedemarken [ˈhêːdəmɑrkn̩] until 2003) is a traditional district in Innlandet county in Eastern Norway.

Hedmarken consists of the municipalities Stange, Hamar, Løten, and Ringsaker. In the past, it also contained the former municipalities of Romedal, Vang, Furnes, and Nes, but those municipalities were merged into Hamar, Stange, and Ringsaker during the 20th century. Traditionally, it also included Gjøvik Municipality on the other side of the lake, but this is no longer the case. The old county of Hedmark was named after the district of Hedmarken, but the county included several other districts as well, namely Østerdalen and Glåmdalen (Solør, Odalen and Vinger).

The district is dominated by rolling agricultural terrain, hilly green mountains, and pine forests.
