Marco Tagbajumi (born 1 July 1988) is a Nigerian football player who plays as a forward for Strømsgodset.
Tagbajumi was born in Nigeria, but also holds an Italian passport. His family moved to Norway when he was 5, and he played youth football for Skeid.
After moving to London, England with his family in 2008, Tagbajumi started playing non-league football for Kingsbury London Tigers. In 2009, he signed for AD Camacha in Portugal, and spent two seasons at the club before moving to Cyprus.
On 18 August 2015, Tagbajumi signed a loan deal with Strømsgodset for the remainder of the 2015 season. Strømsgodset secured an option to buy the player.
He played his first match for Strømsgodset when he came on as a substitute in the 82nd minute in the 4–2 win against local rivals Mjøndalen IF. A week later, he scored his first two goals for the club in his home debut, a 5–0 win against FK Haugesund on 11 September 2015.
After the 2015 season, Strømsgodset decided not to use the option to buy the player.
On 11 November 2016, Tagbajumi signed a one-year contract with Strømsgodset.
