Dmitri Lvovich Popov (Russian: Дмитрий Львович Попов; born 27 February 1967) is a Russian retired footballer who played as a left midfielder, and the current director of football of FC Spartak Moscow.
Popov was born in Yaroslavl, Soviet Union. He started playing professionally at local FC Shinnik Yaroslavl, then signed with country giants FC Spartak Moscow.
In 1993, Popov moved to Spain alongside teammate Dmitri Radchenko, and would spend there the following six-and-a-half years, with Racing de Santander (in the 1995–96 season, he teamed up there with compatriot Ilshat Faizulin), SD Compostela and CD Toledo. In January 2000 he joined Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv FC, retiring at the end of the campaign.
Popov returned to Spartak Moscow in 2008, as its director of football. He obtained 21 caps and scored four goals for the Russian national team, and was part of the national squad at the 1994 FIFA World Cup. In 2009 he played in the national senior XI that won the Legends Cup.
