Margunn Haugenes (née Humlestøl; born January 25, 1970) is a Norwegian footballer and Olympic champion.

Haugenes debuted for the Norwegian national team in 1990 at the age of 20, also moving from her lower-division club Kaupanger IL to the Toppserien club Asker SK. In 1994 she moved to Bergen to play for IL Sandviken, winning the Norwegian Cup competition in 1995. In 1996 she moved to Bjørnar, now Arna-Bjørnar, in the same city, contributing to the team's promotion to the Toppserien and ensuring that it became established at the top level.

Haugenes played 79 matches for the national team, gaining the runner-up place in both the World Cup and the European Cup in 1991. She missed the 1999 season due to pregnancy, but she and the team then won Gold at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[2]

Following the Sydney Olympics Haugenes had two seasons at the English club Fulham, and on May 6, 2002 she was in the team that beat Doncaster Belles to win the FA Women's Cup. In 2003 she returned to Norway to play for Amazon Grimstad and eventually retired from football at the end of 2007 after 18 months as player/trainer for the same club.

But Haugenes then started playing again for Amazon Grimstad in 2010 when her husband Gaute, former trainer at Fulham, took over as the club's chief trainer. In September 2011 she was still playing as a midfielder in the Toppserien at the age of 41.

Haugenes works as a teacher and as a TV commentator, and is the assistant trainer of Norway's Under-19 girls' team. She has two children. In 2014 she made another playing comeback with a lower division men's team IL Sørfjell.[3]
