The purpose of the paper is to introduce and study a new class of operators on semi-Hilbertian spaces, i.e. spaces generated by positive semi-definite sesquilinear forms. Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a Hilbert space and let $A$ be a positive bounded operator on $\mathscr{H}$. The semi-inner product ${\langle h\mid k\rangle }_A:=\langle Ah\mid k\rangle$, $h,k\in \mathscr{H}$, induces a semi-norm ${\parallel ·\parallel }_A$. This makes $\mathscr{H}$ into a semi-Hilbertian space. An operator $T\in {ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ is said to be $(n,m)$-$A$-normal if $[T^n,{\left(T^{{♯}_A}\right)}^m]:=T^n{\left(T^{{♯}_A}\right)}^m-{\left(T^{{♯}_A}\right)}^m{T}^n=0$ for some positive integers $n$ and $m$.
