Bo Kristoffer Nordfeldt (born 23 June 1989) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Allsvenskan club AIK.

Club career IF Brommapojkarna Nordfeldt began his career in IF Brommapojkarna, famous for its academy. He was promoted to the first team for the season of 2006, when the team was playing in Superettan. Nordfeldt did not play any league matches that year or the following year when the team was playing for the first time in Allsvenskan.
In 2008, IF Brommapojkarna were back in Superettan and both goalkeepers, Mattias Asper and Kristoffer Björklund, had left the club. Nordfeldt started his first year as a senior and when the season ended, the club had seen a promotion back to the Allsvenskan. He had started 29 out of 30 league matches, conceding 27 goals, and achieving 12 clean sheets.
Nordfeldt signed a new contract in the beginning of 2009, keeping him at the club until 2012. As newcomers for the season of 2009, the club was seen as favourites for relegation, but finished a comfortable 12th. He made 21 league appearances, conceding 31 goals and keeping six clean sheets.
On 2 August 2010, there were several scouts spotted at Grimsta to watch the match between IF Brommapojkarna and the league leaders Helsingborgs IF. The clubs thought to be interested in Nordfeldt were Ajax, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hannover 96, Heerenveen, and Sampdoria.
Heerenveen On 6 March 2012, Nordfeldt signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Dutch top flight club SC Heerenveen. He featured over 100 times for the Dutch side, helping them reach the Eredivisie play-offs for Europa League qualification in each of his three seasons at the club.
Swansea City On 23 June 2015, Nordfeldt signed for Premier League side Swansea City on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. He was signed to compete with Łukasz Fabiański for the starting position, following the departures of goalkeepers Gerhard Tremmel and David Cornell earlier in that transfer window. Nordfeldt made his Swansea City debut on Tuesday 25 August in their League Cup match against York City where he played the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 win which resulted in his first clean sheet for the club. Nordfeldt made his Premier League debut in the last match of the season against Manchester City.
AIK
On 9 August 2021, Nordfeldt signed a short-term contract with the Allsvenskan club AIK. The deal ran until 31 December 2021.
He made his debut for the club on 19 August 2021 in the second round of the 2021/2022 Swedish cup against Rågsveds IF. The match ended in a 5–0 victory for AIK, with two goals scored by Erik Ring, and Nordfeldt kept a clean sheet in his first appearance for the club. He made his Allsvenskan debut just three days later, when AIK defeated BK Häcken 2–1 at Friends Arena. His first clean sheet in the league came in the following match, a 2–0 win over Örebro SK on 28 August 2021.
At the end of December 2021, as his contract with the club was about to expire, Nordfeldt signed a four-year deal with AIK, keeping him at the club until 31 December 2025. In August 2025, he signed a new agreement extending his contract until 31 December 2027.

2026 FIFA World Cup and retirement Nordfeldt delivered two notable performances for Sweden in the 2026 World Cup playoff, playing a key role in both matches as the team secured qualification. In the playoff semifinal against Ukraine on 26 March 2026, played in Spain (relocated due to the war in Ukraine), Sweden won 3–1. Nordfeldt started in goal and made a strong impact in what was his first competitive international appearance in several years. He assisted Viktor Gyökeres for one of the goals. Sweden controlled much of the game, and although they conceded late, Nordfeldt’s overall performance was considered both composed and decisive. In the playoff final against Poland on 31 March 2026, played in Stockholm, Sweden won 3–2 to secure a place in the 2026 World Cup. Nordfeldt once again started and played the full match.
At the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Nordfeldt played for 90 minutes in the first two group stage games before Sweden was eliminated by France in the round of 32.
