Tim Vincken (born September 12, 1986 in Berkel en Rodenrijs) is a Dutch footballer who currently plays as a right-winger for Feyenoord Rotterdam. He played three games in the 2004/2005 season with the first team, making his debut in the away match against NEC Nijmegen on May 8, 2005 (2-0 defeat).

He is famous for his height and weight, which are 174 cm and 65 kg, respectively, as for his ability to change direction while running very fast. He is also considered a highly competent dribbler. He scored his first goal for Feyenoord Rotterdam in the match against Sparta Rotterdam on 23 December 2006. His goal resulted in a victory for Feyenoord.

A lack of action in the 2006/2007 season made Vincken unhappy and he's prepared to leave Feyenoord if his chances for playing time are bigger elsewhere.

Now that his direct competitor for the right-wing position - Romeo Castelen - has departed, it may open the door for Vinken to secure a permanent place within the team.
