  Jörn Schwinkendorf (born 27 January 1971) is a German former professional footballer who played as a defender.
  
  Playing his football at various sides in the lower division league in Germany, Schwinkendorf came to the attention of Cardiff City who paid £110,000 to SV Waldhof Mannheim for his services. However, despite his height he struggled to adapt to the physical nature of lower-tier English football and left the club later in the season after only playing a handful of games.
