Police say they do not know where the man comes from but that he speaks good English with an East European accent.
A police spokesman told the Norwegian VG newspaper there was reason to believe he had been a victim of crime.
The man, who calls himself "John Smith" for now, agreed to his photo being released after inquiries drew a blank.
His fingerprints and photo were sent to East European police forces via Interpol but without success.
"The man did not possess any form of identification, and did not remember his name, origin, how he ended up in Norway or any other details of his life," the police said in a statement.
"[He] is of European origin, speaks very well English with a Eastern/Central-European accent, and understands Czech, Slovak, Polish and Russian languages. He is 187 cm [6.1 ft] tall, has blue eyes and dark blonde hair."
According to the police, he is aged in his twenties and was found in a snowdrift in an industrial area east of the Norwegian capital.
Amnesia, the partial or complete loss of memory, is usually associated with either physical trauma such as a blow to the head or some sort of psychological trauma.
It is usually a temporary condition and tends to affect only a certain part of a person's experience.
