Gunnleifur Vignir Gunnleifsson (born 14 July 1975) is an Icelandic football goalkeeper, who currently plays for Breiðablik, having spent most of his career with Breiðablik's Kópavogur rivals HK.
Gunnleifur started his career with local club HK by making 3 appearances in the 1995 season as the club was relegated from the 1. deild to the 2. deild. He joined lower-league club KVA from Eskifjörður and Reyðarfjörður (later known as Fjarðabyggð) and was their 1st choice goalkeeper for the 1996 season as the club was promoted from the lowest league, the 3. deild, to the 2. deild. He then headed back to HK to be their main goalkeeper for the 1997 season in the 2. deild, as the club was promoted to the 1. deild again, along with Gunnleifur's former club KVA.
After impressing in the lower leagues he moved to Úrvalsdeild club KR where he played 10 of 18 games in the 1998 Úrvalsdeild, keeping a clean-sheet for seven games in a row, as well as keeping national team goalkeeper (8 games in the last year before that) Kristján Finnbogason out of the team as KR finished 2nd in the league. He only managed one game in the 1999 season where KR won their first Icelandic title for 31 years, moving to fellow Úrvalsdeild outfit Keflavík before the 2000 season as the club finished 6th, 2 points away from relegation, and again as they finished 6th in the 2001 season, this time 4 points away from relegation.
