The name Noru has been used to name four tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by South Korea and means a roe deer.
- Tropical Storm Noru (2004) (T0429, 32W) – remained out to sea.
- Tropical Storm Noru (2011) (T1113, 16W) – churned out of the ocean and merged with the extratropical remnants of Talas.
- Typhoon Noru (2017) (T1705, 07W) – impacted Japan and is tied as the second longest-lasting northwest Pacific tropical cyclone on record.
- Typhoon Noru (2022) (T2216, 18W, Karding) – a rapidly intensifying Category 5-equivalent typhoon that caused destructive impacts in the Philippines and Vietnam.
After the 2022 storm, the name Noru was announced to be retired and will no longer be used in the future. In 2024, the name was replaced by Hodu, which means walnut in Korean.
