Florin Lucian Cernat (born 10 March 1980) is a Romanian international footballer who plays as a midfielder and playmaker for Voluntari. He is known for his excellent passing play, great vision on field, and highly precise free-kicks and exceptional dribbling ability.

Florin Cernat started his professional career at Oțelul Galați. In 2000 he was noticed by Dinamo Bucharest.

Dinamo ended up buying him. The rising star was played most of the entire 2000-01 season, appearing for 25 out of 30 league matches. He helped the team finish 2nd in the league and qualify for the UEFA Cup. Cernat also participated in the team's UEFA Champions League 2000-01 campaign, which ended prematurely in the second round.

During that period, Dynamo Kyiv's coach, Valeriy Lobanovskiy was looking for players to replace the stars that he had recently sold. This included Andriy Shevchenko and Kakha Kaladze to AC Milan, Serhiy Rebrov to Tottenham Hotspur, and Oleh Luzhny to Arsenal F.C.. In July 2001 Cernat transferred to Dynamo Kyiv, where he contributed to the team and won many titles.

Returning from loan to Dynamo, Cernat was rarely able to prove himself under new coach Yuri Semin. On Wednesday 24 December 2008, Cernat announced that he has been in Kyiv for 8 years and will leave in the summer.
