Marit Helene Fiane Grødum (née Christensen; born December 11, 1980) is a Norwegian football central back. Christensen married Øystein Grødum on 31 August 2013 and changed her name to Marit Helene Fiane Grødum. She currently plays for Amazon Grimstad of Norway's Toppserien league. She is member of the Norwegian national team, having made her debut for the senior team on March 16, 2003, in a match against the United States.
She started her career in Halsen IF, a local club in Larvik. As the women's teams of Halsen and rival club Nanset IF joined into one club, FK Larvik, Grødum became one of the key players of the club. Both she and the club made a Toppserien debut in 2000. Grødum scored one goal, but could not help the club avoid relegation. In 2002, Larvik and Grødum returned to Toppserien. Even though Larvik survived their second encounter with Toppserien, Grødum changed team to Asker. The stay in Asker was short, as only one year later Grødum continued her way east and ended up in Røa. Grødum proved to be vital to the club. In her first season in Røa, her team won the double, both the league and the cup. Over the next years, Røa with Grødum won the league and the cup twice each.
Grødum also became an important part of the national team. When she quit the national team in October 2008, Grødum had made 62 appearances, scoring seven goals. She scored her first goal for Norway on July 24, 2004 in a match against Sweden.
She was part of the squad for the 2005 European Championships, in which Norway claimed silver, falling to Germany 3–1 in the championship match. She was also part of the team for the 2003 Women's World Cup, 2007 Women's World Cup and the 2008 Summer Olympics held in Beijing, China.
