Maksim Aleksandrovich Shatskikh (born 30 August 1978) is an Uzbekistani professional football coach of Pakhtakor Tashkent and a former player.

A prolific striker, he is widely regarded as one of the best Uzbekistani player of all time[according to whom?] and is currently the top goalscorer of the national team with 34 goals in 61 games. Shatskikh is the joint all-time top scorer of the Ukrainian Premier League with 123 goals in 341 games together with Serhii Rebrov.[1] He spent a decade playing for Dynamo Kyiv from 1999 to 2009.

On 28 July 1999, Shatskikh became the first Asian player to score in the UEFA Champions League and is only the second Uzbekistani player, after Mirjalol Kasymov, to score in UEFA football competitions.[2] At international level, he played in three AFC Asian Cups for Uzbekistan, helping them to fourth place in 2011.

Most recently he played for Rukh Vynnyky. On 8 April 2016, it was announced that he ended his playing career and became a coaching staff of the Dynamo football academy.[3]

His brother Oleg Shatskikh is also a former footballer.
