Gökhan Ünal (born 23 July 1982) is a Turkish professional football player. He was the top goal scorer in the Turkcell Super League 2005/06 season, having scored 25 goals in a single season. He is currently playing for Trabzonspor, having emerged through the Gençlerbirliği Youth Team.

His prolific goal scoring ability is also apparent in European competitions, where he scored 6 goals in 8 games for Kayserispor during their UEFA Intertoto Cup Campaign in the 2005/6 season, in which they became the first team from Turkey to win the competition.

His current record for the Turkey national team is also impressive, with a goal in his only start so far. Interestingly, he also scored the national team's 550th goal[1] against on 24 March 2007, scoring the second goal in a 4-1 victory over Greece in Athens. And scored his second goal against on 12 September 2007 Turkey-Hungary.

He has attracted attention from a number of top clubs, namely Galatasaray[2] who tried to sign him during the summer break in 2007, but Kayserispor refused all offers, as well as another from Russian team FC Rubin Kazan for € 6 million [3]. He was transferred to giants Trabzonspor in June 3, 2008.[4]
