Andri Rúnar Bjarnason (born 12 November 1990) is an Icelandic footballer who plays for Helsingborgs IF as a striker.
Andri started his career with his local club BÍ/Bolungarvík. He later moved to Pepsi Deildin club Víkingur Reykjavík. Between these moves Bjarnason also attended college in the US and played with North Carolina Wesleyan College’s soccer team where he was named USA South Rookie of the Year honors and to the All-South Atlantic Region Second Team.
In 2016, Andri joined Inkasso League's Grindavík on loan from Víkingur Reykjavík and helped the club achieve promotion to Úrvalsdeild karla. After the season he transferred to the club and in 2017 he took the Úrvalsdeild by storm, scoring 18 goals in his first 20 matches. On September 30, Andri tied the single season goal record in the Úrvalsdeild when he scored on the 88 minute in Grindavík's final game of the season.
On 4 November 2017 Andri signed for Helsingborgs IF.
In January 2018, Andri was selected to the Icelandic national football team ahead of its two unofficial friendly matches in Indonesia. He played his first game for the national team on 11 January, scoring one goal in Iceland's 6–0 victory against Indonesia Selection in Maguwoharjo Stadium.
In July 2017, Andri criticised Sandra María Jessen, the captain of Úrvalsdeild kvenna club Þór/KA and a member of the Icelandic national team, on Twitter, for her liking a tweet regarding criticism on the selection of a certain player for the national team, and ended the tweet with the hashtag "#brainless". He later apologised for the tweet.
