Helgi Kolviðsson (born 13 September 1971) is a retired Icelandic footballer who played as a defender. He is currently the assistant manager of the Icelandic national football team.
He started his career with now defunct side ÍK in 1988, but when the club folded due to financial difficulties in 1991 Helgi transferred, with most of the side's players, to the newly created football division of the town's handball side, HK, and played there for a few seasons before moving abroad, becoming one of Iceland's few international footballers that have played in Iceland's lower leagues but never in the top league. Helgi spent the 1995–96 season with German side SC Pfullendorf, scoring twice in 30 matches, before joining Austrian club SC Austria Lustenau. In two seasons, he made 55 league appearances, netting twice. In 2000, he returned to Germany with 1. FSV Mainz 05 and spent two years with the Bundesliga outfit, during which time he played 61 games.
Helgi joined SSV Ulm 1846 for the 2000–01 campaign, before returning to Austria with FC Kärnten, where he made 77 appearances and scored five goals in three seasons. He ended his playing career with a second spell at Pfullendorf, playing 56 league matches between 2004 and 2007.
During the 1993 season, Helgi won two caps for the Iceland under-21 team, making his debut as a second-half substitute for Þórður Guðjónsson in the 2–1 win against Hungary on 15 June 1993. Three years later, he won his first senior international cap for Iceland, replacing Ólafur Þórðarson in the 0–3 away defeat to Russia on 9 February 1996. Over the next seven years, Helgi played a further 28 matches for his country before making his final appearance in the 0–0 friendly draw with Mexico on 20 November 2003.
