Fridtjof Backer-Grøndahl (15 October 1885 – 21 June 1959) was a Norwegian pianist, composer and music teacher.

He made a special study of the Piano Concerto in A minor by his countryman (and his mother's friend) Edvard Grieg.

[1] From 1920 to 1930 Fridtjof Backer-Grøndahl lived in Britain, where he taught at University College London and also concertized, including works by his mother, Grieg, and other Norwegian music in his repertoire,[1] along with those of Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Brahms.

He made a small number of recordings of Grieg's Lyric Pieces, available on YouTube.
