Olivier Nicolás André Dacourt (born September 25, 1974 in Montreuil, France) is a professional football player who currently plays midfielder for Inter Milan in Italy's Serie A.

He has also played for Everton F.C., RC Lens, Leeds United and AS Roma. After being on the losing side in the Coppa Italia final against Internazionale in 2005/2006, Dacourt joined the club from AS Roma on a two year contract in accordance with the Bosman ruling.[1] He has earned the nickname "The General" by Inter fans for his marvellous displays on the pitch.

Dacourt has a wealth of experience having played in Ligue 1, the Premiership and Serie A as well as representing his country at international level. He played for France in the 1996 Olympic Games and 2004 European Championship. He has 21 caps and has scored 1 goal for "Les Bleus".

Originally signed as a backup player for Inter, he became a key player of the league victory, in light of all the injuries to Patrick Vieira. On the 2nd of December 2007, against Fiorentina, he damaged his left knee, with a torn cruciate ligament and damage to two other ligaments in it. He is expected to be out for the rest of the 07/08 season.
