Werner Paul Kaspi (né Silbermann; Hebrew: ורנר פאול כספי; 12 July 1917 - 28 July 1944) was an Israeli footballer who played as a forward for Beitar Tel Aviv and Maccabi Netanya at club level, and the Mandatory Palestine national team internationally. The details of his death remain undiscovered, but he is believed to have been a victim of the Nazi regime during World War II.
Kaspi captained Mandatory Palestine in their last international match against Lebanon in 1940, scoring two goals;[1][2] it was his only international cap.[3]
