Mia Terese Hundvin (born 7 March 1977 in Bergen, Norway) is a former Norwegian handball player.

Hundvin played 73 matches for Norway's national handball team in addition to playing for professional clubs. She was part of national teams that won the European Women's Handball Championship in 1998, the World Women's Handball Championship in 1999, and Olympic bronze in 2000. Hundvin scored the game-winner as Norway beat South Korea, 22-21.

She became pregnant by partner Terje Haakonsen in 2003, which interrupted her playing for the Danish team Aalborg DH. In addition to her handball career, Hundvin has been training to be a photographer and works for Danish television.

In 2002, she starred in an episode in the Danish sit-com Langt fra Las Vegas. The episode is called "Mia Hundvin".

In 2000, she entered a registered partnership with Danish handball player Camilla Andersen, but the couple split three years later. Sports Illustrated ran a lengthy feature on the two, who are much-discussed celebrities in their countries. According to Sports Illustrated, Andersen had been the lover of handball legend Anja Andersen after they won the gold for Denmark in 1996.

After her split from Andersen, Hundvin moved in with Norwegian snowboarder Terje Haakonsen, the world's top snowboarder in the 1990s. The couple have two children.
