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

She has formerly played for Swedish top-teams such as Umeå IK and AIK before signing a two-year contract with LFC in autumn of 2008.[1]

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.[2]

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

A back injury kept a frustrated Lundgren out of Sweden's 2013 Algarve Cup squad.[3]
