Grieg is a Norwegian surname originating from the Scottish surname Greig, notably Alexander Greig, great-grandfather of Edvard Grieg. The spelling "Grieg" reflects the Scots pronunciation of "Greig" at the time the name migrated. (In Scots, ei is regularly pronounced 'ee', e.g. heid [=head].) Notable people with this surname include the following:

  • Edvard Grieg, Norwegian composer and pianist
  • Nina Grieg, Danish-Norwegian lyric soprano
  • Nordahl Grieg, Norwegian poet, novelist, dramatist and journalist
