Finn Hågen Krogh (born 6 September 1990) is a Norwegian cross country skier who has competed at FIS Cross-Country World Cup since 2011.
Krogh was born in Alta. He has Norwegian and Sami ancestry.
Krogh represents Tverrelvdalen IL. In addition to being a cross-country skier, he played for Tverrelvdalen's senior football team in the 3. Divisjon before he had to choose between football and skiing. As Krogh was selected for youth national team in cross country skiing, he chose to quit football, but said in an interview with Norwegian TV 2 in 2011 that he believes he could have been a professional Tippeligaen player if he had chosen football ahead of skiing. In the same interview he stated that he thinks it is more fun to play football than to compete in cross country skiing.
Krogh participated in the 2009 Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in Praz de Lys - Sommand, Haute-Savoie where he won bronze in the 4x5 km relay. The next year, Krogh won the relay race in the junior world championship in Hinterzarten, along with Tomas Northug, Didrik Tønseth and Paal Golberg. Krogh also won a bronze in the 20 km skiathlon, and finished fourth at 5 km classic. Krogh won gold in 10 km freestyle in the Norwegian youth championship in 2010.
He made his break-through in the World Cup when he finished second behind Petter Northug in the race in Falun on 20 March 2011. He won his first World Cup relay with Eldar Rønning, Lars Berger and Petter Northug on 20 November 2011 at Sjusjøen.
On 1 January 2013 he won the third stage of the 2012–13 Tour de Ski, which was a sprint. In the Norwegian skiing championship in 2013 at Gåsbu in Hamar, he was number two on the 15 free with individual start, 5.1 seconds behind Martin Johnsrud Sundby.
