Bengt Evert Andersson (born August 11, 1966 in Kungsbacka) is a retired Swedish football goalkeeper.

After playing for a two local clubs, GAIS, IK Brage, Örgryte IS and Spanish club Tenerife, he joined IFK Göteborg in 1998 and has been the club's first choice goalkeeper since. There was some speculation that he would retire after the 2006 season; however this seems to not be the case as Bengt appeared in the official IFK magazine stating that he will probably continue for at least three more years. He is known to be a good penalty shooter, and has scored penalties on numerous occasions in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan. He has also made 194 straight appearances in that league since he returned to Sweden, seventh most all time. He is also one of the oldest players to ever have played in the highest league.

He retired after the 2007-2008 season.
