Wilfred Mugeyi (born 4 July 1969 in Salisbury, now Harare) is a retired Zimbabwean football (soccer) player who is currently coach at South African Premier Soccer League club Chippa United.

During his playing days he was known as "Silver Fox" for the way he stole un-noticed behind opposition defences.

He enjoyed a long and fruitful spell at South African side Bush Bucks, a club he first joined in 1993, and also a decent international career with Zimbabwe.

Mugeyi took South African football by storm when he scooped three top awards, PSL Player of the Year, Player's Player of the Year and Top Goalscorer of the Season back in 1996/97 when he scored 23 goals for Bucks.

He has also had spells in Israel and China, where he played for Maccabi Haifa and Shenyang Haishi respectively.

His twin brother William Mugeyi was also a professional footballer who played for Bush Bucks and Zimbabwe.

Since 2007 after retiring from professional football as a player, Wilfred Mugeyi became an assistant coach at his former club Ajax Cape Town having served as an assistant to Craig Rosslee, Muhsin Ertuğral, Foppe de Haan and finally Maarten Stekelenburg.

On 2 October 2012, Wilfred Mugeyi briefly took over as interim Manager of Ajax Cape Town, following the dismissal of Maarten Stekelenburg, before himself being relieved by Jan Pruijn and finally Jan Versleijen to conclude the 2012/13 PSL season for Ajax CT.

On 29 January 2013 it was announced that Wilfred Mugeyi would take over as head coach of Chippa United.
