Darko Spalević (Serbian Cyrillic: Дарко Спалевић; born 24 March 1977) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Radnicki Kragujevac.
Spalević scored over 150 competitive goals during his journeyman career, having his most prolific seasons after the age of thirty.
Born in Vučitrn, Spalević started his playing career with Trepča from Kosovska Mitrovica, before transferring to Priština in 1998. He stayed there for only one season. After a short stint at Bane from Raška in the fall of 1999, Spalević moved to Milicionar, spending there the following year and a half.
In the summer of 2001, Spalević joined Red Star Belgrade. However, after failing to make an impact at the club in a year and a half, he moved to Bulgarian club Cherno More Varna. After the initial six months, Spalević moved to another Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Plovdiv. He won the national championship title in the 2003–04 season.
In the following three seasons, Spalević played for Russian club Dynamo Makhachkala (2004), Hungarian club Zalaegerszeg (2005), and for Chinese club Henan Jianye (2006), but without notable achievements.
In early 2007, Spalević moved to Bosnia and Herzegovina and signed with Slavija Sarajevo. He spent the next two and a half years there, becoming the Premier League top scorer in 2008 (18 goals), and in 2009 (17 goals). He also won the 2009 Bosnian Cup. Spalević began the 2009–10 season with Olimpik Sarajevo, before returning to Slavija in early 2010.
