Vincenzo "Enzo" Scifo (born February 19, 1966) is a Belgian football midfielder.

Scifo was born to Italian parents and proved himself an highly promising talent in youth football. He joined the Belgium side La Louviere aged fourteen but soon transferred to R.S.C.

He moved to Inter Milan in 1987 but did very poorly, soon moving to Girondins Bordeaux[?] in 1988 where he again disappointed. His career was revived by a successful move to AJ Auxerre[?] in 1989, which led to a return to Italy with A.C. Torino in 1991. He then moved to AS Monaco[?] (1993) before ending his career with his first club, Anderlecht (1997). He retired in 2000 after being diagnosed with chronic arthritis.

He tried his hand at coaching with Charleroi SC[?], joining them for the 2000-01 season. Indifferent results led to his resignation in June 2002.

He appeared for Belgium in the World Cups of 1986, 1990, 1994 and 1998 playing 16 games. In total he gained 84 international caps and scored 18 goals.
