Hans Rotmo (born 3 October 1948; died 24 October 2024) was a Norwegian singer and songwriter remebered by most Norwegians as the leading figure of 1970s folk-rock band Vømmøl Spellmannslag, and also as the writer of hit songs like "Fire Fine Lænestola" and the Christmas tune "Vårres Jul". Rotmo sang in his own dialect from the municipality of Verdal. He was a supporter of the revolutionary communist movement AKP(m-l) in his younger years, and many of the lyrics of his songs, especially those from the Vømmøl period, are influenced by the thoughts of Mao Zedong and Karl Marx, although the surface content of most of these songs concern the population of rural Norway, the industrial progress that followed World War 2, and the effects of the latter on the former.
