Bergen Heliport, Nygårdstangen was a heliport situated at Nygårdstangen on the shore of Store Lungegårdsvannet in Bergen, Norway. It was solely used for air ambulance services to Haukeland University Hospital. The heliport was owned and operated by Hordaland County Municipality, with helicopter services provided by Norsk Luftambulanse . The base opened in 1987 as a temporary facility. It was closed in 2002 and replaced by Bergen Heliport, Grønneviksøren.
Proposals for a helicopter ambulance in Bergen took form during the 1980s. There were two movements. One was based on private initiative backed by NLA. The other was the government. The first commission to look at Bergen in such a capacity was appointed in 1982. It recommended Bergen as a natural site of a base. This led to the establishment of the National Air Ambulance Service from 1 January 1988. Bergen became one of eight cities to receive an air ambulance.
