Danko Lazović (Serbian Cyrillic: Данко Лазовић; born 17 May 1983) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a forward or a winger for Hungarian club Videoton. Lazović represented the Serbia national team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Lazović started playing football at his hometown club Radnički Kragujevac, before joining Partizan at age 13. In his first senior season, Lazović made eight league appearance for Partizan, and also played for Teleoptik on loan. Lazović made his European debut in the UEFA Cup qualifiers against Santa Coloma on 23 August 2001. He won the domestic title with Partizan twice in a row, in 2001–02 and 2002–03.
After an impressive form at Partizan, Lazović would join Feyenoord in the summer of 2003 for €7 million. On the opening of the season on 17 October 2003, he scored on his debut and the club's first goal of the season, in a 2–1 win over NEC and scored his first brace in his Feyenoord's career in a 3–2 win over Utrecht on 25 January 2004, bringing his 15 games without scoring. At the last game of the season, Lazović scored his first hat-trick in his Feyenoord's career, in a 7–1 win over relegated side PEC Zwolle. The next season, Lazović scored his first goal of the season and would score another, also setting up a goal for Dirk Kuyt in a 7–2 win over De Graafschap. At his time at the club, however, Lazović found it difficult to break into the first team squad at Feyenoord and moved onto Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2005 on a loan deal. After the move, Lazović said he expected to resurrect his career.
