Johan Vonlanthen Benavídez (born 1 February 1986 in Santa Marta, Colombia) is a Swiss footballer who plays as a winger for Swiss Promotion League side Servette FC. His stepfather is a Swiss national, giving him the right to play for that country.
He announced the end of his active career after playing for Itagüí of the Colombian Primera División. However, he came back out of retirement on May 2013 and signed on June for Grasshoppers.
Vonlanthen played as a junior for BSC Young Boys in Switzerland. In the 2001–02 season, he made his debut as a 16-year-old in the Swiss Super League starting eight games and appearing once as a substitute. In the summer of 2003, he was transferred to the Dutch Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven. On June 21, 2004, Vonlanthen became the youngest goalscorer when he scored for Switzerland vs France in Coimbra, Portugal at the age of 18 years and 141 days old. He made a good initial impression and helped PSV qualified for the UEFA Champions League. After a good first season, he began to lose form and as a consequence was loaned out to Italian side Brescia Calcio for the last six months of the 2004–05 season. He was again loaned out to NAC Breda for the 2005–06 season.
At the start of the 2006–07 season, Vonlanthen transferred to Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga. On 13 July 2009, FC Zürich signed the Swiss forward on a season long loan deal. The move was not made permanent, and Vonlanthen returned to Salzburg for the start of the 2010–11 season.
