Sofia Lundgren (born September 20, 1982) is a Swedish football goalkeeper for Damallsvenskan club FC Rosengård and the Swedish national team.

She has formerly played for leading Swedish teams such as Umeå IK and AIK before signing a two-year contract with Linköpings FC in the autumn of 2008.[2]

Since making her national team debut in a 6–3 win over England in March 2002, Lundgren competed with Caroline Jönsson, Hedvig Lindahl and latterly Kristin Hammarström for the goalkeeper position.

When Lundgren was injured before the tournament, Maja Åström was drafted into Sweden's squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2005 as the third choice goalkeeper.[3]

A back injury kept a frustrated Lundgren out of Sweden's 2013 Algarve Cup squad.[4] The injury eventually kept Lundgren out of all football for one-and-a-half seasons. She signed for Damallsvenskan newcomers Hammarby IF DFF in January 2015.[5] At the beginning of the 2016 season Lundgren signed a short-term contract with Swedish champions FC Rosengård. The contract was extended when Rosengård's first choice goalkeeper Erin McLeod suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and Zecira Musovic struggled to overcome a broken arm.[6]
