Grindheim is a former municipality in former Vest-Agder county, Norway. The administrative centre was the village of Byremo where Grindheim Church is located. The municipality existed from 1902 until its dissolution in 1964. It was generally located in the northern part of the present-day municipality of Lyngdal, in what is now Agder county.
==History== The municipality of Grindum was established on 1 January 1902 when the old municipality of Bjelland og Grindum was divided into two separate municipalities: Grindheim (population: 909) and Bjelland (population: 907). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Grindheim (population: 701) was merged with the Ågedal and Midtbø areas (located just east of the lake Ytre Øydnavatnet; population: 96) in Bjelland and the neighboring municipality of Konsmo (population: 712) to create the new municipality of Audnedal.
