Kaimar Saag (born 5 August 1988) is an Estonian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Nybergsund-Trysil and the Estonia national football team.
At the age of 16, Saag started his professional career with Levadia. He scored his first Meistriliiga goal on 16 October 2005, in the 28th minute of a 2–3 victory over Merkuur. In 2007 Meistriliiga season, he had a short loan with Tallinna Kalev where he scored once in 14 games. At the age of 19, after three seasons in Levadia, Saag moved abroad.
On 25 January 2008, he signed a 4-year contract with Danish 1st Division club Silkeborg. Seven days later, Saag played his first game for Silkeborg against Aarhus. He scored his first goal for Silkeborg on 6 April 2008, in a 2–1 victory against Fredericia. In April 2012, after spending four and a half years at the club, he announced his intention to leave the club due to limited play time.
In May 2012, Saag signed a two-year contract with Danish side Vejle Kolding and joined the team later in the summer after his contract expired at Silkeborg. He started well at his new club, scoring seven goals in pre-season matches. On 29 July 2012, he made league debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against Køge. A week later on his birthday, 5 August, Saag scored a hat-trick and helped his side beat Skive 4–1.
