Fabián Espíndola (born May 4 1985 in Merlo, San Luis) is an Argentine football (soccer) striker, who currently plays for Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer.

Espíndola started his career in 2005 with Argentine giants Boca Juniors, he played six games for the club, but Boca failed to win any of them. In 2006 he was offloaded to Talleres de Córdoba. He then had spells with Sociedad Deportiva Aucas and LDU Quito before joining Real Salt Lake.

He was acquired by Real Salt Lake at the same same time as fellow Argentines Matias Mantilla and Javier Morales. He scored his first goal against Kansas City Wizards, and celebrated this goal by doing a backflip.

Six minutes in to a game against Los Angeles Galaxy on September 6, 2008, Espindola scored a goal that was later ruled offside. However, before he had seen the final decision on the goal he had commenced his customary celebratory backflip, which resulted in him injuring his ankle, ruling him out for around eight weeks.
