Kamil Kosowski, (born August 30, 1977 in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski), is a Polish footballer playing currently for Cádiz CF and the Poland national football team. He is an audacious winger / playmaker with good dribbling and a wide variety of passing who is often let down by his inconsistency.

He started out playing for his home town club KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski.

Kosowski gained renown in Poland after his performances for Wisła Kraków, in the 2002-03 UEFA Cup.

He moved to Kaiserslautern in Germany in 2003 and then to Southampton where he played the 2005-06 season on a year-long loan and was recalled to the Polish national team. Kosowski has appeared 50 times for Poland, scoring four goals.

He was selected to the 23-men national squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals held in Germany, but he played only about fifteen minutes against Ecuador.

After being on loan at A.C. ChievoVerona, Kosowski returned to Wisła Kraków and played very well for the first half of the season as the player with most assists in the first-half of the league campaign after setting up nine goals in 13 games. However on January 14, Wisła Kraków and Kosowski mutually voided the remainder of his contract as a result of not coming to a compromise on a new deal.

Kosowski signed a 2.5 year contract with Spanish second division team Cádiz CF on Janurary 25, 2008. Gained 4 asissts in 7 matches (3 full) for Cadiz (to 10-05-08).
