Helikopter Service Flight 451 was a Eurocopter AS 332L1 Super Puma helicopter which crashed into the Norwegian Sea 100 nautical miles northwest of Brønnøysund, Norway, on 8 September 1997. The aircraft was en route from Brønnøysund Airport, Brønnøy to Norne, an offshore oil platform.

The accident was caused by a fatigue crack in a spline of a power transmission shaft connector, which ultimately caused the power transmission shaft to fail.

All twelve persons on board were killed.
