Esteban Andrés Solari Poggio (born 2 June 1980) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as for Ecuadorian club S.D. Aucas as a striker.

Solari was born in Rosario, Santa Fe. After unsuccessfully emerging through Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield's youth ranks, he made his professional debuts with Estudiantes de La Plata. He also represented in his country, without much impact overall, Defensa y Justicia, Argentinos Juniors and Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy.

After one year in Italy with amateurs A.C. Chioggia Sottomarina, Solari joined K. Lierse S.K. in the Belgian Pro League in the 2004 summer, scoring five goals in his only season to help his team finish in tenth position. Subsequently he signed for APOEL FC in Cyprus, extending his contract until 2008 after impressing in his first year – 14 league goals in only 16 starts, Cypriot Cup conquest.

In 2006–07, Solari finished top scorer in the First Division (20 goals) as the Nicosia-based club won its third national championship in six years. He was also voted the league's MVP but, at the end of May 2007, agreed on a transfer to UNAM Pumas of Mexico, once again winning an individual scoring accolade after netting 15 times in the Apertura alone.
