Nicola Pozzi (born June 30, 1986 in Santarcangelo di Romagna) is an Italian footballer who currently plays in the Serie A league for Empoli F.C..
Signed by AC Milan from then-Serie C1 side Cesena on January 2004, he was successively loaned to Napoli and Pescara, before being sent on loan to Empoli F.C. for two consecutive seasons (2005-06 and 2006-07. He is now co-owned by both sides.
On December 9, 2007, he scored all four goals in Empoli's 4-1 victory over Cagliari. However, he suffered a season-ending knee injury after netting a brace in a 3-1 defeat of Napoli on February 17, and will be sidelined for six months, effectively ruling him out of the Azzurrini squad for the 2008 Olympics.
Pozzi also represented Italy at the Under-21 level.
