Filip Despotovski (Macedonian: Филип Дecпoтoвcки; born 18 November 1982 in Skopje, Macedonia) is a Macedonian football midfielder who plays for Akademija Pandev.
Filip Despotovski started his career in Macedonia in FK Vardar's youth school, SSK Mladinec, but would sign his first professional contract with Cementarnica 55.
In his first professional season, Despotovski made 19 appearances and scored 4 goals for Cementarnica 55, which immediately earned him a transfer to prominent Serbian club OFK Beograd in summer 2002.
In his first season with OFK, Despotovski made 17 appearances and scored 1 goal to help the team to a third-place league finish. The following season though, Despotovski was no longer a starter, and he would move on from the club. Over the next two-and-a-half seasons, Despotovski played for Macedonian club Napredok Kičevo and Serbian clubs FK Bežanija and Mačva Šabac.
In 2006, Despotovski landed in Greece with Beta Ethniki club Ethnikos Piraeus, and the move proved to be a turning point in his career. After one season with Ethnikos, FK Vardar, Macedonia's most prominent club, took notice of Despotovski's impressive form and signed him to a contract in summer 2007.
Despotovski's rapid growth as a player continued at Vardar, and as such he did not remain at the club very long. Despotovski was noted as Vardar's best player in the first half of the 2007-08 season, and during the winter transfer period Ukrainian Premier League club Vorskla Poltava stepped in and acquired his services from Vardar.
