Ümit Özat (born October 30, 1976) is a Turkish soccer player, and was captain of the Fenerbahçe SK team.
In May 2007 he signed a 3-years contract with 1. FC Köln.
He initially played for Gençlerbirliği and for Fenerbahçe as a central defender or a defensive midfielder. Later, he was converted to a full back on the left side. He is right-footed, but still he can play as left full back. He was once a regular of the Turkish national team. Mostly playing as a wingback and also supporting attackers, he's known for his unexpected long shots and rather successful crosses with his weak foot. He can also play the sweeper and central defender positions, as well as being able to play as a defensive midfielder when needed.
