Igors Tarasovs (born 16 October 1988 in Riga) is a Latvian footballer, who is currently playing for Giresunspor in the TFF First League. He is also a member of Latvia national football team.
As a youth player Tarasovs played for JFC Skonto and was taken to the first team in 2006. Making just one first team appearance, he was soon loaned out to the unofficial Skonto Riga farm-team Olimps/RFS to get playing practice. During his loan spell from 2007 to 2008 Tarasovs played 50 matches and scored 2 goals. He returned to Skonto in 2009, becoming a first eleven player. Representing the club for 3 years Tarasovs made 84 league appearances and scored eleven goals, becoming the Latvian champion in 2010 and the Baltic League champion in 2011. In 2011 the fans voted him as the Skonto Riga Player of the Season.
At the start of 2012 Tarasovs refused to extend his contract with Skonto and went on trials with Jagiellonia Białystok in Poland, Inter Baku in Azerbaijan and 1. FC Tatran Prešov in Slovakia. On February 15 Tarasovs signed a contract with the Azerbaijan Premier League club Simurq PFC until the end of the season, joining his international team-mate Andrejs Rubins. Tarasovs scored 3 goals in 14 games that season, helping his team secure a place in the top tier for the upcoming season.
In July 2012 Tarasovs returned to Latvia, signing a contract with the Latvian Higher League club FK Ventspils. Throughout two seasons with the club he scored 8 goals in 37 league matches and helped the team win the championship and the Latvian Football Cup in 2013.
