Mimmi Löfwenius Veum (born 16 February 1994) is a Swedish-Norwegian football forward, currently playing for Vålerenga in the Toppserien.

She won the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Turkey with Sweden U19 national team.[2][3]

In 2009 Löfwenius collapsed during a match and was diagnosed with cardiac dysrhythmia. Although doctors advised her to quit football, she carried on and signed for Dalsjöfors GoIF in 2010. After impressing in the 2011 Damallsvenskan season Löfwenius joined Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC ahead of 2012. She left part way through the season, for Jitex BK,[4] hoping to get more playing time.[5]

Löfwenius was born and grew up in Sweden. She gained Norwegian citizenship through marriage, and in 2023 she won her first cap for Norway.[6]
