Anders Hiim (born 13 September 2002) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a left back for Sarpsborg 08.

Hiim grew up in Sandnes and started out in the local club Bogafjell IL. When he turned 16, Bogafjell could not field a full team anymore, so Hiim went to regional giants Viking FK. According to himself, he lost motivation during the initial COVID-19 pandemic in Norway, and ultimately quit Viking in 2021. Instead, he decided on doing military service. Starting the program to become a paratrooper in , he had to quit that because of an allergic reaction. Hiim then moved home and rejoined Bogafjell which had a senior team in the Fifth Division, the sixth tier of Norwegian football. However, after a few games, he decided to make a last-ditch effort on top-level football and joined the youth team of Sandnes Ulf. Shortly after, in December 2021, he was contracted to the senior team.
