Hanne Grasmo (1966) is a larp designer and organizer from Norway. Her focus as a designer has been in experimental and avant-garde work, although she is probably best known as one of the creators of Just A Little Lovin' and other work relating to larp, sexuality and gender. As one of the organisers of the first Knutepunkt conference in 1997, she has been a founding presence in the entirety of Nordic larp discourse as we know it today.
