Jan Gustaf Andersson (born 6 December 1974) is a Swedish former football striker, ended his career in 2007 after not getting a new contract with Allsvenskan side Helsingborgs IF. He signed for the club in 2002, leaving IFK Göteborg. He was known as a versatile player who ran a lot and whose headings were a fearful weapon for opponents. He has played for the Sweden men's national football team. In January 2008, it was officially announced that Andersson's contract with HIF would not be extended. Andersson decided to end his professional career and start a civilian one instead, working as a coordinator for the public high schools in Helsingborg.
