Malin Elisabeth Andersson (born 4 May 1973 in Kristianstad, Skåne) is a Swedish women's football player.

In an international career lasting from 1994 to 2005, Andersson appeared in 151 international matches for Sweden. At the time of her retirement, Kristin Bengtsson was the only other player in Swedish football history to have amassed 150 caps. She competed in the 1995, 1999, and 2003 Women's World Cups, netting three goals for Sweden overall. She also competed for Sweden in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics.

Domestically, she played for Malmö FF in the Damallsvenskan, and won the Diamantbollen as Sweden's top female footballer in 1995.[2][3]

Appearances and goals in World Cup & Olympic tournaments

Malin Andersson competed in three FIFA Women's World Cups: Sweden 1995, USA 1999, USA 2003. She also played in three Olympic tournaments: the 1996 Atlanta Games, the 2000 Sydney Games, and the 2004 Athens Games.

She appeared in all but two of her team's matches across those tournaments, and played every minute for Sweden at the 1995 and 1999 World Cups and at the 2000 Olympics. In the 1995 World Cup, she scored both the first and the final goals for Sweden as they came back from an 0–2 deficit vs Germany to win 3–2 on the second day of match play. Her 53' goal against Brazil in the Quarter-Finals of the 2003 World Cup proved to be the winning goal in that match, a crucial victory in Sweden's march to a second-place finish.[4]
