József Kiprich (born 6 September 1963) is a retired Hungarian football forward and currently a football manager and scout. He made his debut for the Hungarian national team in 1984, and got 70 caps and 28 goals until 1995. He was a participant at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, where Hungary failed to progress from the group stage. During his career he won two national championships, five national cups, two super cups and he became top goalscorer in a league twice.

József Kiprich started his professional career at the age of 17 in the 1980/81 season at Tatabányai Bányász which played in the highest Hungarian League in football. During the following years Kiprich became a first team regular and a key player for the team. He became known as a goalscorer and made his debut in the national team of Hungary in 1984. He became top goalscorer in the Hungarian League in 1985, scoring 18 goals in 26 matches. In total he played nine seasons at Tatabánya before making his move to the Netherlands.

He had just played his first match in his 10th season at Tatabánya when Feyenoord Rotterdam got interested in signing him. Kiprich didn't hesitate and signed a contract and left Tatabánya for Rotterdam. Kiprich joined Feyenoord in what is known as the worst period in the club's history. Feyenoord, one of the clubs that has never been relegated were underperforming and close to the relegation zone of the Eredivisie when Kiprich joined the club. Kiprich made his debut on 20 August 1989 in Feyenoord's home match versus Fortuna Sittard. The match ended in another disappointing result for the fans as Fortuna Sittard won 0-2. The furious fans entered the pitch and chased the players and referees which were running towards the changing rooms. With Kiprich the team started performing slightly better and eventually ended the season in 11th position, securing their place in the Eredivisie, but missing out on European football for the first time in many years.
