Björn Bergmann Sigurðarson (born 26 February 1991) is an Icelandic international footballer who plays as a forward for Tippeligaen club Molde.
He began his career with ÍA in his native Iceland before a three-year spell at Norwegian side Lillestrøm, during which time he made his international debut. In July 2012 he moved to English side Wolves for a reported £2.4m fee. His contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers expired in June 2016 without renewal.
On 12 July 2016 Björn joined Norwegian club Molde on a free transfer.
Björn made his debut for his hometown club ÍA in the 2007 Úrvalsdeild. He was mostly employed as a substitute in his first season, but became a regular first team player during the next season. However, ÍA suffered relegation to the second level.
He did not remain at ÍA after their relegation though, and instead signed a three-year contract with Norwegian club Lillestrøm SK in January 2009.
After making his club debut on 22 March 2009 against Viking, Björn's first season in the Tippeliga was troubled by numerous lower back injuries. He did manage to make 12 appearances, scoring once (against Bodø/Glimt on 20 September).
