Milan Baroš (born 28 October 1981 in Vigantice, Czech Republic) is a Czech international footballer. He has been capped 18 times, scoring 8 goals. He is a striker who currently plays for Liverpool; his previous club was Banik Ostrava.

At the 2004 European Football Championship, he scored the first goal for the Czech Republic in their first game of the tournament, a come-from-behind victory over Latvia by the score 2:1. He went on to score goals in the Czechs' other two group matches. His second goal was an equalizer against the Netherlands; the Czechs went on to win that game. The last was a game-winning goal against Germany. Baroš and Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy were the only two players in the tournament to score in all three of their group matches.

Baroš added two goals in two minutes of the second half of the Czechs' quarterfinal win over Denmark.
