Marit Bratberg Lund (born 7 November 1997) is a Norwegian footballer who plays for Toppserien club Brann.

She hails from Ilseng^[2] and started her senior career in FL Fart. In mid-2014 she moved on to Kolbotn IL in the first division, and ahead of the 2021 season to IL Sandviken. She was also a prolific Norway youth international.^[3]^[4]

Sandviken, whom she joined in 2021, led the league and eventually became league champions. With 14 assists and 7 goals from her left wing-back position, she was an important contributor to the gold team. She was named player of the year in the 2021 Toppserien both in the official selection,^[5] by Norwegian News Agency,^[6] and during the NISO Awards.^[7] Several football experts and pundits suggested that she be called up to the full national team, and expressed a failure to understand why no call-up came in 2021. Lund was called the best left-footed footballer in Norway.^[2]^[8]^[9]^[10] She ranked highest on the score table of the Norwegian News Agency, praising her attacking capabilities.^[11]

On 19 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player Norwegian squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.^[12]
