Jørgen Juve (November 22, 1906 – April 12, 1983) was a Norwegian football (soccer) player. He played as a striker for Lyn, and also for the Norwegian national team. He is still the highest scoring player ever for Norway, with 33 goals out of just 45 games. What made the achievement even more significant is that he only played as a striker in 22 of those games, the rest he alternated between right-back and centre-half.
He was also known for being captain of the Norwegian team which won Olympic bronze medals in the 1936 Summer Olympics.
