Krisztián Lisztes [ˈkristiaːn ˈlistɛʃ] (born July 2, 1976 in Budapest) is a Hungarian professional footballer.

Lisztes began his professional career as a midfielder, playing for the Hungarian team Ferencvárosi TC, where he was brought up through the youth academy. He led Ferencvaros to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League in 1995, making them the first and as yet only Hungarian team to make it there. His performances at the European level caught the attention of several big clubs and he would go on to join VfB Stuttgart (1996-01) and then SV Werder Bremen in the 2001-02 season. His successes include German Cup triumphs with Stuttgart in 1997 and Werder in 2004, as well as the 2004 league title with Werder. In 2004 he sustained an injury and never fully regained his fitness at Werder. In 2005, following a trial with Wigan Athletic of the Premier League, he joined Borussia Mönchengladbach, but failed to make a serious impact as a result of his continued injury problems. After a brief spell in Croatia with Hajduk Split he rejoined his childhood team in February 2008, Ferencvárosi TC

Lisztes has been capped 49 times and scored 9 goals for the Hungary national team. He is married and has one daughter.
