Johann Vogel (born March 8, 1977 in Geneva) is a Swiss footballer. He currently plays for AC Milan, and is the captain of the Switzerland national football team.

Vogel joined Swiss amateur club FC Meyrin in his youth but made the cut into professional football by joining Grasshopper. He was handed his debut for Switzerland on 8 March 1995 in a 1-1 draw against Greece. In his time at Grasshoppers, he usually played central defence or rightback although on occasion, he could be called to feature in a central defensive midfield role.

Dutch club PSV Eindhoven sought his services in 1999 and he became a prominent member of the team until he decided to leave to join Italian giants AC Milan at the end of the 2004/2005 season. In his final season with PSV, he was noted for forming a formidable midfield partnership with Mark van Bommel and Philip Cocu where the club managed to reach the semi-finals of the European UEFA Champions League tournament.

In his role as a defensive midfield player, in which he uses his ability to pass accurately and to effectively retain possession of the ball, Vogel can be counted on to add depth to either defence or attack.

Vogel also played in the Euro 2004 competition in Portugal and has made 82 appearances in total for his country.
