Marianne Iren Pettersen (born 12 April 1975) is a Norwegian footballer. She was a striker for the club Asker, whom she joined from Gjelleråsen after the 1996 season, and became the top scorer with 36 goals in the 1998 season of 18 matches.

Career

For the Norwegian national team, Pettersen debuted in 1994, scoring against Italy.

In the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup held in Sweden, she scored three times to help the Norwegian team win its first World Cup, including the second goal in Norway's 2-0 win over Germany in the tournament final.

In 1997 when she was 22 she created a record in the Women's Euros when she scored four goals in a single match. The match was against Denmark at Lillestrøm and the final score was 5-0.

Overall, she scored 66 goals in 98 international matches. She retired in 2003, after competing in the 1996 Summer Olympics and winning gold at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

In 2007, she rejoined Asker as the assistant trainer and began playing again, as a reserve striker. On 19 May the same year she took the record as the highest scorer in the elite Norwegian league, the Toppserien, with 147 goals to that date.
