Stéphane Chapuisat (born 28 June 1969) is a Swiss retired footballer who played as a striker.
A prolific goalscorer for both club and country (for which he appeared more than 100 times), he played most of his career with Germany's Borussia Dortmund.
Chapuisat represented his country at the 1994 World Cup and two European Championships.
Born in Lausanne, Chapuisat started his professional career with hometown club FC Lausanne-Sport, moving in January 1991 to Bundesliga's Bayer Uerdingen and switching to powerhouse Borussia Dortmund in that summer.
In his first season at Dortmund Chapuisat scored 20 league goals, two short of Torjäger Fritz Walter of eventual champions VfB Stuttgart. He stayed with Borussia until 1999, conquering back-to-back titles – although he played sparingly in 1995–96 due to injuries – and adding the following campaign's UEFA Champions League, where he netted three in ten games during the victorious run.
Chapuisat then transferred to Grasshopper Club Zürich, playing there for three years. In 2002, he moved to another Swiss first division side, BSC Young Boys, before rejoining Lausanne now in the second level, retiring at 37 with namely 106 goals in 228 Bundesliga games to his credit. He was also voted Swiss Footballer of the Year four times (1992, 1993, 1994 and 2001).
