Briskebyen is a neighborhood in central Gjøvik, Norway. The high-rise flats on Heimdalsgate that are part of the Briskebyen housing association were built in 1972.[1]

Briskebyen was a working-class district, made up of wooden houses built in the area before 1865. Most of these houses were destroyed between 1960 and 1970. They were replaced by high-rise flats and the hospital at Haugtun.

The area is named after Briskeby in Oslo, which was also a working-class district.
