Kim Vilfort (born 15 November 1962) is a Danish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and the current head talent scout at Brøndby IF.
His 17-year professional career was mainly associated with Brøndby, for which he played in 470 official games – being the club's top scorer in history – and won ten major titles.
Vilfort played for more than one decade with Denmark, and gained 77 caps. He was an essential figure in the nation's Euro 1992 conquest, and represented the country in three European Championships.
Born in Valby, Vilfort started playing football as a boy in Skovlunde IF, usually as a striker. He moved to Boldklubben Frem in 1981, appearing in four top division seasons with the club.
After spending the 1985–86 campaign in France with Lille OSC – only one Ligue 1 goal, club finished in tenth position – Vilfort returned to his country and signed for defending champions Brøndby IF, where he would play out the rest of his career as an attacking midfielder; in the 1986–87 European Cup, the first-ever European competition participation for the team, he scored two goals to help them reach the third round.
1991 was an outstanding year for Vilfort: he helped to a semi-final run in the UEFA Cup, appearing in an astonishing 55 league games the 1991 Danish Superliga and the 1991–92 Danish Superliga combined – the latter had been recently created – and netting nine times, going on to be named both Brøndby's Player of the Year and Danish Player of the Year.
