Guðný Björk Óðinsdóttir (born 27 September 1988) is an Icelandic former footballer who played as a midfielder for Kristianstads DFF of the Swedish Damallsvenskan and the Iceland women's national football team. She represented her country in the 2009 and 2013 editions of the UEFA Women's Championship.

Guðný made her senior international debut for Iceland in a 3–0 win over Portugal at the Laugardalsvöllur Arena in June 2006.

At UEFA Women's Euro 2009, Guðný was included in the squad but did not play in any of the matches as Iceland were eliminated in the first round.[1]

At the 2013 European Championships in Sweden, Guðný suffered the fourth anterior cruciate ligament injury of her career at the age of 24. While preparing for another surgery she insisted that she had no intention of retiring.[2]

Guðný made another comeback, but injuries eventually forced her into retirement at the age of 26 in May 2015.[3]
