Kjell Hjertsson (1 August 1922 – 8 February 2013) was a Swedish footballer who played his career at Malmö FF and Råå IF as a midfielder.[1]

His brothers Arne Hjertsson and Sven Hjertsson were also footballers. He died 8 February 2013.[2] In 1950 he was recruited to Råå IF, together with his Malmö FF clubmates Walle Ek and Gustaf Nilsson. With these reinforcements, Råå IF, immediately after promotion from the 2nd tier, in the 1950-51 season, sensationally captured the top tier Allsvenskan's big silver medal.[3][4][5]
