Torolv Solheim (7 November 1907 – 23 May 1995) was a Norwegian lecturer, historian, author, social economist and politician. Originally a member of the Communist Party of Norway, he later joined the Norwegian Labour Party and was amongst the founders of the Socialist People's Party in 1961, serving as its chairman from 1969 to 1971. He subsequently became a member of the Socialist Left Party. From 1954 to 1968, he edited the influential cultural and political magazine Fossegrimen, which became a significant platform for left-wing intellectual discourse in post-war Norway.
