Lindome GIF is a Swedish football club located in Lindome in Mölndal Municipality, Västra Götaland County.
The club was formed on 31 January 1928 under the name Lindome IF through the merger of Lindome JUF, Anderstorps IF and Stationens IF. In 1960 the name was changed to Lindome GoIF (Lindome gymnastik och idrottsförening).
The original club members were farmers and youth members of the Jordbrukarungdomens Förbund (Farmers' Youth League) and the motive was simply that by engaging in sport, members could have fun together. Sports that the club engaged in included football but also table tennis, boxing, floorball, swimming and athletics.
Since their foundation Lindome GIF has participated mainly in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. However, in 2007 the club won Division 2 Västra Götaland and were promoted to Division 1 Södra where they spent two seasons. The club currently plays in Division 2 Västra Götaland which is the fourth tier of Swedish football. They play their home matches at the Lindevi IP in Lindome.
