Åkebergveien is a street in Oslo, Norway. The street is named after the former farm Åkeberg.

Åkebergveien 11 formerly belonged to the brewery . In 1934 the building was acquired by the city of Oslo, and after rebuilding became part of the district prison of Oslo, currently department B of Oslo Prison (Norwegian: Oslo fengsel). The prison is popularly called "Bayer'n", due to its history as a brewery. During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, part of the prison was used by the Germans for political prisoners and detainees.[1][2][3] The former Botsfengselet, currently department A of Oslo Prison, is located nearby.

Åkebergveien 50 was the first municipal apartment building of Oslo.[1]
