Svein Grøndalen (born 8 February 1955) is a retired Norwegian footballer.
He was born in Halden,[1] and as a youngster he lived in Halden, Drammen, Halden again, and Hunndalen. He played youth football for Kvik Halden and Raufoss,[2] and senior football for Raufoss, Rosenborg, Moss and Ås. In total he got 77 caps for Norway,[1] between 1973 and 1984.[2]

Many people remember him best for a brutal tackle which injured Swede Ralf Edström during a 1977 international match.[2] He is also remembered for missing a World Cup qualification match due to a bizarre injury, while running in the forest before the game Grøndalen ran into a moose and injured himself so badly he couldn't play the next game.[3]
