Volker Abramczik (born 27 May 1964 in Gelsenkirchen) is a former German football player. The younger brother of German international Rüdiger Abramczik played during his career exclusively for sides based in the Ruhr Area.

Starting at the age of four, Volker Abramczik played for the youth sides of FC Schalke 04. In the 1981–82 season he made his professional debut for Schalke 04, which was at that time playing in the 2nd Bundesliga. The then 17-year-old played a big part in Schalke's promotion to the Bundesliga (24 caps, six goals). In the following season Abramczik only played three times and Schalke was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga. One year later Schalke won the promotion to Bundesliga again, but Abramczik left the club for 2nd Bundesliga side MSV Duisburg. After one year he transferred to Rot-Weiss Essen where he ended his career in 1990.
