Miklós "Miki" Fehér (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈmikloːʃ ˈfɛheːr]; 20 July 1979 – 25 January 2004) was a Hungarian professional footballer who played as a striker.
He spent most of his nine-year career in Portugal, representing four clubs and amassing Primeira Liga totals of 80 games and 27 goals. He represented Hungary at international level.
On 25 January 2004, Fehér died of a cardiac arrest during a match between Vitória de Guimarães and his team Benfica in Guimarães.
Born in Tatabánya, Fehér started his playing career at Győri ETO FC, where he was spotted by FC Porto scouts. He was signed in 1998 but did not immediately make the first team. Instead, he was put on loan to two other northern clubs, S.C. Salgueiros and S.C. Braga. At Braga Fehér had his best professional season, scoring 14 Primeira Liga goals in 26 games in 2000–01. After Porto chairman Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa quarrelled with his agent, José Veiga, the player left out of loyalty to Veiga, joining Lisbon side S.L. Benfica, where he scored eight goals over two seasons.
On 25 January 2004, Fehér was in Guimarães with Benfica to play against Vitória de Guimarães in a game being televised live. With Benfica leading 1–0, Fehér came on as a substitute and assisted another player just off the bench, Fernando Aguiar, for the match's only goal. After receiving a yellow card in injury time, he suddenly bent forward, seemingly in pain, then fell backwards to the ground.
