Ömer Kerim Ali Rıza (born 8 November 1979) is a footballer of Turkish Cypriot descent who plays as a striker. He is currently playing on a non-contract basis at Conference side Histon

Born in Edmonton, England, Rıza started his career as a youth with English club Arsenal and made his first team debut on 2 November 1998 against Derby County in the League Cup. He also travelled with the team on away fixtures against Dynamo Kyiv and Panathinaikos as a substitute in the Champions League. With few first-team opportunities at Arsenal, during 1998–99 he went on loan to ADO Den Haag for three months, scoring five goals for the Dutch side.

In the 1999–2000 season, he moved to West Ham United, but again was unable to break into the first team. He went on loan to Barnet and Cambridge United, and signed a permanent deal with the latter in 2002. During the 2002–03 season he scored 17 goals for United, which prompted a move to Turkcell Super League side Denizlispor during the 2003 close season. In January 2006, he signed for Trabzonspor.

In February 2009 Rıza returned to English football with a trial at League Two club Shrewsbury Town, and impressed manager Paul Simpson. Rıza made his debut for Shrewsbury Town as a second half substitute against Rotherham United the following day.

On 22 January 2010, he left Shrewsbury Town to join Aldershot Town until the end of the season. Following the appointment of David Livermore as manager at Histon, Riza joined Histon on a non-contract basis and made his debut against Kettering Town in a Conference league fixture on 28 August. He scored his first goal for Histon when he scored a penalty in their league match against Hayes & Yeading United, which turned out to be the winning goal.

After two successful seasons as Histon 1st Team player-coach Omer is now scoring frequently for Boreham Wood FC.
