Tamás Vaskó (born February 20, 1984) is a Hungarian footballer who currently plays as a centre back for Újpest FC

Vaskó started to play football in smaller clubs and joined Vasas in 1998. Three years later he started to play for Újpest FC, and he has been with the team ever since, except for a year he spent on loan with FC Tatabánya.

In 2006, despite his young age, he became the captain of Újpest FC.

Vaskó was on trial at Southampton F.C. during July 2007, but he failed to make sufficient impression and was not signed by the Championship club. Vaskó has now sealed a year long loan deal with newly promoted League 1 runners up Bristol City. At the end of the loan deal Bristol City have the option of signing the defender on a 3 year contract. In the games he has played he has made an impression scoring a goal and defending well. However, he was sent back to Újpest FC after Bristol City did not wish to sign him permanently.
