Ingemar Teever (born 24 February 1983) is an Estonian former professional footballer who last played as a forward for Estonian Meistriliiga club Levadia.

Teever was the top goalscorer in the 2008 and the 2015 Meistriliiga seasons. Teever was named Meistriliiga Player of the Year in 2015.

Club career

At the age of 19, Teever started his professional career with TVMK, having previously played for lower division clubs Nõmme Kalju and M.C. Tallinn. There he won the 2005 Meistriliiga, Estonian Cup in 2003 and Estonian Supercup in 2005, before leaving the club in 2005.

=Öster=

On 1 December 2015, Teever joined the Swedish Allsvenskan club Öster.{{cite web |url=http://www.soccernet.ee/teever-siirdub-osters-if-sse |title=Teever siirdub Östers IF-sse |trans-title=Teever moves to Östers IF |date=1 December 2005 |language=et |publisher=Soccernet.ee |access-date=9 June 2010}}{{cite web |url=http://www.ohtuleht.ee/index.aspx?id=188295 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120910232132/http://www.ohtuleht.ee/index.aspx?id=188295 |url-status=dead |archive-date=10 September 2012 |title=Ingemar Teever hakkab mängima Rootsi kõrgliigas |trans-title=Ingemar Teever will play in Swedish premier league |date=21 December 2005 |language=et |publisher=Õhtuleht |access-date=9 June 2010 }} His first appearances for Öster were very promising, but as competitive matches approached, Teever's scoring record decreased rapidly. Teever scored a total of only five goals during his two seasons in Sweden, despite playing regularly.

Teever joined newly promoted Nõmme Kalju on loan after Öster were relegated to Swedish Swedish football Division 1. He became an instant hit, scoring 23 goals in 35 matches, winning the top goalscorer award,{{cite web |url=http://www.soccernet.ee/eesti-meistriliiga-2008/statistika?varavaloojad |title=Meistriliiga 2008 statistika – Väravalööjad |trans-title=Meistriliiga 2010 statistics – Goalscorers |date=2 December 2008 |language=et |publisher=Soccernet.ee |access-date=9 June 2010}} and driving the team to the 4th place, just a point behind the third, Trans Narva.
