Goran Pandev (Macedonian: Горан Пандев [ˈɡɔran ˈpandɛf]; born 27 July 1983) is a Macedonian footballer who plays for Genoa as a forward. He is the captain of the Macedonian national team, and is the country's all-time top scorer with 29 goals.

After establishing himself at Lazio, Pandev moved to Inter Milan in early 2010. While playing for the Nerazzurri, Pandev collected a host of honours including winning the 2009–10 Serie A, the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League, and the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup.

Pandev was born in Strumica, SR Macedonia, then still part of SFR Yugoslavia, and began his football career with FK Belasica, the club with which he progressed through the youth academy. He only spent one season in the local Prva Liga, however, before being signed by Serie A giants Internazionale in the summer of 2001 when he was just 18 years old.

Inter loaned Pandev to Spezia, where he was a regular in Serie C1. The following year, he was again sent on loan, this time to newly promoted Serie A club Ancona. During his time at Ancona, the team had the worst season of any club in Serie A history.
