Kim Deinoff (born 2 December 1976) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Kongsvinger. He has previously played in the Tippeligaen for Aalesund, and has also played for Skeid, Abildsø, Raufoss, Hødd, Løv-Ham and Manglerud Star.
Born in Oslo, Deinoff grew up playing for Skeid, and was the second-choice goalkeeper behind Roger Vaaler when the club played in Tippeligaen in 1996. As Deinoff did not play any matches for Skeid, he joined Abildsø the next season to play more regularly. He played for Abildsø for three seasons until he joined First Division side Raufoss where he soon became the first-choice goalkeeper. After three seasons with Raufoss, he joined the newly promoted Tippeligaen side Aalesund as a free agent ahead of the 2003 season.
Deinoff was brought to Aalesund as a back-up for Frank Mathisen, but became the first-choice half-way through the 2003 season and played 13 matches for the club in their first season in Tippeligaen. After the team was relegated to the First Division, Aalesund met one of their challengers for promotion, Sandefjord in a match on 6 June 2004. Towards the end of the first half, Sandefjord's Andreas Augustsson got a red card for biting Deinoff in the arm. Augustsson said after the match that he was stuck underneath a few players and was struck by panic, but the next day he apologized to Deinoff. Despite playing half the match with ten players, Sandefjord won 2–0, but at the end of the season Aalesund was promoted ahead of Sandefjord with Deinoff playing 29 matches. Following the arrival of Adin Brown, Deinoff was the second-choice goalkeeper in 2005, but made 8 appearances during the season when Brown was injured. Deinoff played a total of 89 matches for Aalesund.
