Trine Bjerke Rønning (born 14 June 1982) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a defender or midfielder for Stabæk of the Toppserien. She has previously played for Trondheims-Ørn and Kolbotn. Since making her Norway women's national football team debut in October 1999, she has won over 150 caps. Rønning represented her country at the 2005, 2009 and 2013 editions of the UEFA Women's Championship, after being a non-playing squad member in 2001. She also played at the 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015 FIFA Women's World Cups, as well as at the 2008 Olympic football tournament. In February 2015 she was appointed captain of the national team.

Rønning has won the Norwegian elite Toppserien league six times with three different clubs. First with Trondheims-Ørn SK in 2000 and in 2001, then with Kolbotn in 2005 and in 2006 and again with Stabæk FK in 2010 and 2013. She won the national Norwegian Women's Cup in 1998 (as a 16-year-old), 1999, 2001 and 2002 with Trondheims-Ørn, as the captain of Kolbotn in 2007 and with Stabæk in 2011, 2012 and 2013. In five seasons with Trondheims-Ørn, Rønning scored 40 league goals in 86 appearances. After captaining Kolbotn through the 2007 and 2008 seasons Rønning declined a contract extension and joined the newly formed team Stabæk FK in early 2009.
