Tobias Jan Håkan Linderoth [IPA: tʊ'biːɑs 'lɪndɛˌruːt] (born April 21, 1979 in Marseille, France) is a Swedish football center midfielder playing for Galatasaray. Linderoth is a midfield dynamo on the Swedish national team where he also is assistant captain. Tobias has competed in the UEFA European Football Championship for Sweden in the 2004 tournaments as well as the FIFA World Cups in the 2002 and 2006 tournaments. In one game at the World Cup in 2002, he ran 14.6 kilometres (9.07 miles) during the 96 minutes of the match - not an unusual feature for the always hard-working player. Another key feature is his tough, dangerous and effective tackling.

Linderoth played for Stabæk and then an unremarkable spell at Everton before he joined F.C. Copenhagen in summer 2004. He was a regular first team player for three seasons in FC Copenhagen and was made captain for the team that won two Danish championships and qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League with Linderoth as a key player.

He is the son of football coach Anders Linderoth, a former Swedish international who played in the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina. Linderoth is known for his extremely high work-rate as a defensive midfielder. On October 25, 2006, Tobias and his wife Maria became parents when she gave birth to their first child. On June 12, 2007, Linderoth signed a three-year contract with the Turkish giants Galatasaray S.K., where he wears the number 6.

On May 26, 2008 Linderoth scored his first International goal, the only goal in a 1-0 win over Slovenia in a pre-Euro 2008 friendly warm-up.
