Josefine "Jossan" Öqvist (born July 23, 1983) is a female footballer for Linköpings FC and the Swedish national team. She scored a critical goal at the 86' minute in the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup semifinals against Canada to put them through to the finals. She was named the Swedish Rookie of the Year in 2003.
While her primary position is a forward, she was named as a midfielder for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Along with Caroline Jönsson, Öqvist tore her ACL before the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup and was consequently removed from the roster to recover.
She has attracted attention for a photoshoot in the magazine, Slitz in the Spring of 2004.
After the 2008 season, Swedish giants Umeå IK wanted Öqvist. Instead she signed a new two-year contract with Linköping.
