The 1973 2. divisjon was a Norwegian second-tier football league season.
The league was contested by 36 teams, divided into a total of four groups; A and B (non-Northern Norwegian teams) and two district groups which contained teams from Northern Norway: district IX–X and district XI.[1] The winners of group A and B were promoted to the 1974 1. divisjon, while the winners of the district groups qualified for the Northern Norwegian final.
