Róbert Vittek is a Slovak football player, who currently plays striker for Lille OSC.

Vittek began his pro career with hometown club Slovan Bratislava in 1999. He came to Nuremberg in 2003, while the club was still in the 2. Bundesliga, helping the team earn a promotion for the 2004–05 campaign.

Vittek scored 5 goals in the 04–05 campaign and seemed to be slumping toward mediocrity in the first half of the 05–06 season, as he failed to score in the first 17 matches before the winter break. Then without warning, he became one of the most thrilling players in the Bundesliga in the second half of the season, scoring 16 goals in the final 16 games. He made league history in Spieltag 24 and 25, becoming the first Bundesliga player to score a combined 6 goals in 2 consecutive games. In all, Vittek had 5 multi-goal games on the season, and his 16 goals were good for 5th place on the Bundesliga scoring charts. Vittek's rise was mirrored by his team as 1. FC Nuremberg rose from near-relegation to 8th place.

His sparkling 05/06 performance has made Vittek a sought after commodity in European football. Hamburger SV was the main Bundesliga club rumored to be courting Vittek. Dynamo Kiev offered a €10 mil transfer fee for Vittek in June 2006, but Nuremberg rejected the offer. Lokomotiv Moscow was also reported to have interest in Vittek's services.

Vittek has also been part of the Slovak national team since 2001. With 51 national team caps under his belt, only fellow Bundesliga player Miroslav Karhan has seen more national team action than Vittek on the current roster.
