Monsef Zerka (born August 30, 1981 in Orléans) is a French-Moroccan professional football (soccer) player. He plays for AS Nancy, usually as a striker, but originally played as fullback then in midfield.
Playing for US Orléans as a youngster, Zerka was signed by Nancy on the recommendation of his coach Jacques Quéré. He completed the final years of his apprenticeship at Nancy before making his debut in 2001.
Before finally signing professional forms (initially a three-year contract) with Nancy in August 2002, Zerka had made his debut for the Morocco national team. He was part of the Moroccan 2004 Olympic football team, who exited in the first round, finishing third in group D, behind group winners Iraq and runners-up Costa Rica.
After playing in various positions over the years, Zerka proved effective in a forward role in Nancy's first season back in the top flight, and continues in this position in 2006-07.
