Hernán Barcos (born April 11, 1984) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for LDU Quito. He is nicknamed El Pirata (The Pirate) and is well known for his finishing ability, technique and strength.
Barcos debuted professionally for Racing in 2004. He then went on to play on loan for Club Guaraní (Paraguay), Red Star (Serbia), Olmedo (Ecuador), and Huracán (Argentina).
On October 7, 2007, he scored his first league goal in Serbia by netting twice in the late minutes against Banat, helping Red Star to get three points.
In February 2009 Barcos signed a year long loan with Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua. However, after a disappointing half season at Shenhua, he was loaned out again by Shenhua to Shenzhen Asia Travel, also a CSL club. He scored the first hat-trick in his career in Shenzhen's 4-0 victory over Changchun Yatai on September 16, 2009. He scored 14 goals in 14 league games with Shenzhen and won Chinese Football Association Golden Boot award in the end of the season.
In early 2010 he transferred to LDU Quito to reinforce the squad after their leading goalscorer transferred out. He established himself as a capable striker for the squad, starting a five-game run where he scored one goal a game. Barcos, or "El Pirata" as he was nicknamed by the Liga fans, scored two vital goals against Estudiantes de La Plata in LDU's 2-1 first-leg win, winning the 2010 Recopa Sudamericana. Barcos' ended his illustrious 2010 season as Ecuadorian Serie A champion, having scored 22 league goals in 32 games, second best in the league, behind Jaime Ayoví who scored 23 goals.
