Lotte Grigel (born 5 April 1991) is a Danish former handball player, who played for Team Esbjerg, Rostov-Don in Russia, Debreceni VSC in Hungary and Nantes Loire Atlantique Handball in France. She was also a stable on the Danish national team.

She made her debut on the Danish national team on 14 October 2008, against Russia.

She started playing handball at the age of 7 at the club KVIK Esbjerg. At the age of 16 in 2008 she made her debut for the local league side Team Esbjerg. She played 7 years for her childhood club, where she was considered a club icon.

The tenure ended in 2015 when there was a fall-out between her and the club's manager Lars Frederiksen. She believed she was overlooked and did not play enough, and multiple times announced, that she would not play under Frederiksen. The conflict ended in her signing for the Russian club Rostov-Don shortly before the 2015 World Women's Handball Championship.

After 15 months in Russia she switched to the Hungarian side Debreceni VSC, where she stayed for two years.

On 1 February 2019, it was announced that Lotte Grigel had signed a 2-year contract with Nantes Atlantique Handball. After this contract she announced the end of her career.

After her playing career she has been a handball expert on the Danish TV channel Viaplay since 2022, where she covers Danish women's handball.
