Fredrik Guttormsen Winsnes (born December 28, 1975) is a Norwegian professional football midfielder, who plays for Strømsgodset IF in the Norwegian Premier League. He has played 12 games for the Norway national football team.

Born in Trondheim, Winsnes started his senior career with local team Rosenborg BK in 1997. He played eight seasons at Rosenborg, winning seven Norwegian Premier League championships and two Norwegian Football Cups. Though playing for Rosenborg until the end of 2005, he spent the 2002 season on loan at Swedish team Hammarby IF. In December 2005, he signed a three-year long deal with Aalborg Boldspilklub (AaB) in the Danish Superliga. He joined the AaB squad on January 4, 2006 during the training for the second half of the 2005-06 Superliga season.

He played one and a half season at AaB, helping them win bronze medals in the 2006-07 Superliga season; the best AaB result in eight years. After the season, he was named 2006-07 AaB Player of the Year.[1] Having played a total 57 games and scored five goals for AaB, the birth of his daughter prompted Winsnes and his wife to move back to Norway to be closer to their family.[2] He continued his career at Strømsgodset.
