Ville Salmikivi (born 20 May 1992 in Helsinki) is a Finnish footballer, who represents HIFK in the Veikkausliiga, the premier division of football in Finland.

Salmikivi begun playing football being five years old in HIFK. The youth organisation of HIFK was acquired by PK-35 in 2000, thus he played in PK-35 until the season 2010.[1] He was selected as "The Boy Player of the Year" of the club in 2008.[2]

Salmikivi didn't manage to break through to the first team of PK-35, therefore he moved to FC Viikingit for the season of 2011. In Viikingit he was the top goalscorer of the season 2011 in Ykkönen, scoring 20 goals. The accomplishment earned himself to be the "The Footballer of the Season 2011 in Ykkönen", voted by the Federation of Finnish Footballers. During the season 2012, he scored seven times.[3]

For the season 2013, he transferred to MyPa.[4] He made his league debut on 14 May 2013 in the opening match against KuPS.[5] He continued to play for MyPa in 2014.

For the season 2015, he made a contract with HIFK.[6]
