Inge Thomas Dahl Debes (15 May 1882 – 25 November 1945) is a Norwegian jurist, editor and politician.

Inge Debes, c. 1940

He was born in Kragerø.[1] He was married to Sigrid Torgersen (1885–1936) from 1905 to 1913. They divorced and she later married Jakob Friis (1914 to 1924) and Emil Stang, Jr. (from 1925).[2]

Debes edited the Norwegian Labour Party publication Det 20de Århundre in the early 1910s,[3][4] but joined the Social Democratic Labour Party of Norway after the party split in 1921.[1]

From 1925 he chaired the organization Norsk forening for sosialt arbeid. He was a judge in Oslo City Court from 1926, and published several books.[1] In 1945 he chaired the commission that delivered a controversial document on "war children" to the Norwegian Ministry of Social Affairs, which was stopped by Sven Oftedal and never reached the Parliament of Norway for deliberation.[5]
