Georgi Petkov (Bulgarian: Георги Петков) (born April 14, 1976 in Pazardzhik) is a Bulgarian football player.
He currently plays for PFC Levski Sofia as a goalkeeper. He started playing with PFC Hebar Pazardzhik (Хебър Пазарджик). He came to Levski from PFC Slavia Sofia in 2002. He was a substitute of Dimitar Ivankov until this season. He played on the Bulgarian national team in 2005 as a back up to Ivankov.
After Ivankov left Levski Petkov showed his real potential and became an important part of the team. With Georgi as a key player, his team was the first Bulgarian team to join the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. He was one of the few players that had their positions secure during the 07-08 transfer season, when a big part of the Levski players were sold.
On 25 April 2008 a media information showed that Petkov is wanted by Besiktas J.K. during the summer transfer season.
