Zsolt Szilágyi (born 29 June 1981) is a Romanian retired footballer of Hungarian descent, who spent his entire career at Universitatea Cluj. He is a fan favourite with Şepcile Rosii for fidelity proven in time.

On 3 September 2005, during a Divizia B match against Unirea Dej, he left the pitch after an injury that would keep him off his career for 3 years. He was operated on his left knee, where he had severe ligament issues, multiple times. He finally managed to regain his much expected and appreciated regular presence in the first eleven with "U" Cluj. He has been captain for a long time, and fans consider him one of the brightest stars on their sky during the hard times that struck the club during the 1990s and 2000s.
