Tanum is a parish and district in the municipality of Bærum in Akershus, Norway.

The Tanum area has a rich soil, and is the site of a number of farms.

[2] The parish is named after the old farm Tanum (Norse Túnheimr), since the first church was built there.

The Renaissance style altar piece was designed by Frederich Zebal in 1663.

The pulpit and baptismal font were made by Svend Eriksen Svanneberg in 1723.
