Sigurður Þorbjörn Ingimundarson (born 14 June 1966) is an Icelandic basketball coach and former player. He is the winningest coach in Icelandic basketball history for both genders, both in terms of national championships and career wins.

In 2009, Sigurður was hired as the head coach of Solna Vikings. He left after only two games due to a disagreement with the board regarding how to build up the team, claiming he was not happy with the boards insistence on adding more American players to ensure short-term success.

In October 2016, Sigurður was forced to step down as head coach of Keflavík in the Úrvalsdeild karla due to health reasons.

In January 2025, he resumed his coaching career and took over Keflavík women's team once again, replacing Friðrik Ingi Rúnarsson who resigned in December.

Personal life

Sigurður is the younger brother of Valur Ingimundarson, the highest scoring player in the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild history, and the uncle of basketball player Valur Orri Valsson.
