Odd Grønvold (8 September 1907 – 18 February 1992) was a Norwegian royal servant.

He was born in Kristiania,[1] and was a grandnephew of the former private secretary to King Haakon VII of Norway, Hans Aimar Mow Grønvold.[2] He was hired as secretary to Crown Prince Olav of Norway in 1954, and when Olav ascended the monarch's throne in 1957, Grønvold was hired as court marshal.[1] In this position he assisted lord chamberlain Ingvald Smith-Kielland, who had left the marshal office in 1955.[3] Grønvold was later promoted to lord chamberlain, serving from 1966 to 1985.[1] He was decorated with the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Olav in 1982.[4]

He was married to Ellinor Grønvold, who served as lady-in-waiting since 1956. In 1958 the entire court of the Norwegian royal family comprised as little as seven people; Smith-Kielland, Odd and Ellinor Grønvold, Richard Andvord, Else Werring, Ingeborg von Hanno and Vincent Bommen.[3]
