Uroš Đurđević (Serbian Cyrillic: Урош Ђурђевић; born 2 March 1994) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Partizan.
Following his promising displays at Rad and national youth teams, Đurđević attracted the attention of numerous clubs, eventually signing for Dutch side Vitesse in January 2014. He however failed to make an impact at the GelreDome, receiving very limited playing time, before moving to Italian club Palermo in August 2015. Shortly after scoring on his debut for the Sicilians, Đurđević suffered an ankle injury that took him out of action for three months. He left the club after only a year and returned to his homeland to sign for Partizan in August 2016.
At international level, Đurđević represented Serbia at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in 2012 and 2013, helping them win the latter tournament. He is also the all-time highest scorer for the Serbia U21s with 15 goals in 27 appearances.
Đurđević made his senior debut for Rad on 28 August 2011, coming on as a substitute for Luka Milivojević in a 1–2 home league loss to Sloboda Užice. He appeared in a total of seven league games in his debut season, exclusively as a substitute. On 17 November 2012, Đurđević scored his first ever senior goal for Rad, giving his team a 1–0 home league win over Hajduk Kula. He netted a total of nine league goals in the 2012–13 campaign, helping his team finish middle of the table. Despite numerous speculation during the 2013 summer transfer window, Đurđević eventually stayed with the Građevinari until the end of the year.
