Rødtvet is a residential area in the district of Grorud in Oslo, located just southwest of Grorud proper. The area was urbanized from the mid 1960s, and connected to the city centre with metro line 5 from 1966. Rødtvet has the forest Lillomarka as a neighbor to the north, and the residential areas Bredtvet, Kalbakken, Flaen and Nordtvet as its closest neighbors to the south. The area is named after Rødtvet farm (Rødtvetveien 14), which in the Middle Ages belonged to the monastery at Hovedøya. The name itself has not been possible to fully interpret. "Tvet" comes from the Old Norse Þveit, which means "small piece of land", while "rød" stands uninterpreted. The area was farmland until the 1800s, when a number of smaller industries appeared. Traces of mining, and of stone industries based on the local "Grorud granite" (mostly open pit mining), are still possible to observe in the Rødtvet terrain. Rødtvet school was inaugurated in 1962, the nursing home in 1969. The church was consecrated in 1978. Situated in rented facilities behind the church is today the Norwegian Hindu Cultural Centre, which annually hosts a large-scale festival that attracts Hindus from all over Northern Europe.

Granite from Grorud is seen in many buildings in downtown Oslo - with the lion sculptures in front of Stortinget, the Norwegian Parliament being the most famous example. Textile industries were also a part of the urbanization of Grorud, with the river Alna and its waterfalls as power supply. The railway station at Grorud, from 1854, is one of the oldest in Norway and was a hub of the whole Grorud Valley for many years until the arrival of urbanization and the subway.
