Georgi Hristov or Gjorgji Hristov (Macedonian: Ѓорѓи Христов) (born January 30, 1976 in Bitola, Yugoslavia) is a football striker from the Republic of Macedonia who currently plays for FC Den Bosch.

Following the relegation of Barnsley from the FA Premier League that same season (1997/98), Hristov moved to NEC Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Having trouble with injuries, he moved to Scottish club Dunfermline Athletic in January 2005, playing there for six months before leaving for Debrecen (Hungary). In January 2007 he moved to Cypriot football club Olympiakos Nicosia for six months.
