Leonid "Leo" Krupnik (Ukrainian: Леонід Крупнік, Russian: Леонид Крупник, Hebrew: ליאוניד קרופניק) (born July 15, 1979 in Khmelnytskyi) is a retired Soviet-born American-Israeli soccer player.
Krupnik moved with his parents, Mark and Rita, and brother Vladimir, from his native Ukraine to the United States in the 1990s, settling in San Francisco, California. Initially a promising gymnast, Krupnik was spotted playing football with some friends by the manager of the San Francisco Vikings youth team, and the youngster quickly changed sports.
Krupnik attended and was the team captain of George Washington High School, graduating in 1997, and played four years of college soccer at the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in social welfare. Krupnik was also strong academically, and was on the Dean's Honor List in Fall of 2000.
Krupnik was drafted with the 69th pick of the 2002 MLS SuperDraft by the MetroStars, but did not make the squad, and instead spent the 2002 season with the Des Moines Menace of the Premier Development League. He was signed by the MetroStars late in the season, again without seeing any first-team action, and was then released on free transfer to the Wilmington Hammerheads. After winning the 2003 championship with Wilmington, Krupnik was signed by Charleston Battery.
