Jacek Ziober (born 18 November 1965 in Łódź) is a Polish former football player. In years 1989-1993 he was a key player of Poland national football team. In 1990 won the Polish player of the year contest. With Montpellier HSC he competed in the 1991 Cup Winners' Cup, losing in the quarterfinals to Manchester United. In 1993 he was traded to CA Osasuna but after one season the team was relegated to the Segunda División; in 1996 Ziober returned to Poland to play for Amica Wronki. Since the Poland national team failed to qualify to any major tournament in the 1990s, Ziober never played neither in the World Cup nor in European Championship. His greatest international success remains the bronze medal (4th place) in the U-18 World Cup in 1984, where he played alongside future national team teammate, Roman Kosecki.

Ziober was a pacy winger who possessed good dribbling ability, thus he could easily get the better of most defenders. He was, however, sometimes criticized for too egoistic play. Ziober was recognizable by his shoulder-long hairstyle, which he sported for most of his career.

Currently, Ziober is the coach and manager of Poland national beach soccer team
