Albert Nađ (Serbian Cyrillic: Алберт Нађ; born 29 October 1974) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder (CDM).
Internationally, Nađ represented his country under different names at two major tournaments, one European Championship (FR Yugoslavia) and one World Cup (Serbia and Montenegro).
Born in Zemun, Nađ started out at his local club Teleoptik. He later joined the youth system of Partizan, making his senior debut in the title-winning 1992–93 season. Afterwards, Nađ was one of the team's most regular players in the 1993–94 season, as they won the double. He then spent another two years in the country, collecting one more domestic league title in 1996, while captaining the side. In total, Nađ made 111 league appearances and scored eight goals for the club under manager Ljubiša Tumbaković between 1992 and 1996.
In July 1996, Nađ moved abroad to Spain and signed with Betis. He made 30 league appearances in his debut season in La Liga, as the club finished in fourth place. Subsequently, Nađ stayed for one more season at Betis, before moving on loan to Oviedo in the summer of 1998. He was eventually acquired by Oviedo in July 1999. However, Nađ made only 16 appearances in the 1999–2000 season. He was later loaned to Segunda División club Elche until the end of the 2000–01 campaign. After returning from loan, Nađ spent another season with Oviedo, before leaving the club due to unpaid wages in August 2002.
