Marel Baldvinsson (born December 18, 1980) is an Icelandic football attacker who has been capped 11 times for Iceland as well as 16 times at youth level. He started his career in Breiðablik, but moved to Norway early in his career. After a fruitless trial with Rosenborg BK, he signed with Stabæk IF. In January 2003 he moved to the Belgian club Lokeren, a club with many Icelandic players in their roster at the time.

In 2006 he was forced to cut short his career as a professional footballer due to injury. [1] He rejoined Breiðablik in his native Iceland. After many impressive displays in the 2006 season, he was recalled into the Icelandic national team to face Spain in August 2006. A few days later he returned to professional football when he signed for Norwegian club Molde.
