Rasmus Lindgren (born 29 November 1984 in Landskrona) is a Swedish footballer who currently plays for BK Häcken in the Swedish Allsvenskan. He played two periods for FC Groningen, other clubs he played for include Ajax and Red Bull Salzburg.
In 2003, Lindgren moved from Landskrona BoIS in Sweden to AFC Ajax in The Netherlands. Initially, he played for their famous youth system, but he managed to become a member of the first squad in 2005 and would become the captain at the club. He made his debut in the 1–2 away win in the Eredivisie against NAC Breda on 13 February 2005. After the match, Lindgren says he is happy to make his debut and expected to make his way into the first team. He played 4 matches in the 2004–05 Eredivisie, but he didn't manage to secure a place in the starting line-up. Ajax and Lindgren agreed that he would go on loan the next season.
On 9 August 2005 it was announced that Lindgren would join FC Groningen for a 1-year loan period. Having made his debut on the opening game, Lindgren would score his first goal, the next game, in a 2–1 loss against RKC Waalwijk seven days later. In the 2005–06 season, he played most matches and FC Groningen was satisfied with his performance. On 1 March 2006 it was announced that Lindgren would sign a new deal, making him a FC Groningen player for 4 years. His transfer fee was 300k Euros. During his total 2 1⁄2-year stay at FC Groningen, Lindgren became one of the most important players in the squad, playing a total of 82 Eredivisie-matches (4 goals). His performances led to a renewal of AFC Ajax' interest in him.
On 28 January 2008 he moved back to Ajax, signing a 3 1⁄2-year deal. The transfer fee was about 2.5 million Euros. In the second half of the 2007–08 season and in the start of the 2008–09 season, he is a regular first team player. However, several injuries limit the number of matches he could play, also resulting in becoming a regular substitute in the 2009–10 season under head-coach Martin Jol.
