Ilie Dumitrescu (Romanian pronunciation: [iˈli.e dumiˈtresku] ; born 6 January 1969) is a Romanian former football player and coach, who was last manager of Steaua Bucuresti. A tricky forward, he shot to fame when his frontline partnership with Gheorghe Hagi and Florin Răducioiu led the Romania national team to the 1994 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal, eliminating Argentina en route.

At the 1994 World Cup Dumitrescu played all the five games his team played in America. He was a key player in Romania’s surprise 3-2 victory over previous runners-up Argentina, scoring the first two goals and assisting the third. His first goal came in the 11th minute and came direct via an eye-catching free kick from a wide position. Argentina equalized almost instantly from a penalty but Romania regained the lead minutes later through a well-worked passing move that enabled Dumitrescu to score from close range. The victory enabled Romania to progress to the quarter-finals; a first for the Romanian national team.

In the summer of 1996 he signed a contract with Club América in Mexico and before switching to their rivals Atlante F.C. a year later.
