Jonathan Vonheim Norbye (born 26 March 2007) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Norwegian OBOS-ligaen club Haugesund.
Norbye joined the youth academy of German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig at the age of fifteen.
On 23 June 2025, Norbye was loaned by 2. Bundesliga club Arminia Bielefeld. He only made appearances for Arminia's reserve team in the first half of the season, and on 22 December 2025, the loan was terminated early.
On 31 March 2026, Norbye moved on loan to Fredrikstad until the end of 2026, with an option to buy.
Norbye mainly operates as a defender and has been described as "a calmness and confidence in his game... has made the centre-back position his own".
