Ante Šimundža (born 28 September 1971 in Maribor) is a Slovenian association football manager and former professional footballer. He has been a head coach of Maribor from September 2013 until August 2015.
He started his career in the youth selections of Železničar Maribor and moved to Maribor after the independence of Slovenia in 1991. He stayed there for six seasons scoring 64 league goals in 170 appearances. He played for a number of different foreign clubs between 1997 and 1998, however, plagued by constant ankle injuries he soon returned to his home town club. There he was an important part of Maribor's qualification to the UEFA Champions League during the 1999–2000 season. He was the scorer of the winning goal in the first round of the group stage when Maribor defeated Dynamo Kyiv in Kiev, Ukraine. In 2001, he again moved abroad and played for La Louvière and Železnik, before returning to his native country and finishing his professional career in Šmartno. Šimundža has made a total of 255 Slovenian PrvaLiga appearances, scoring 87 goals in the process. Considered a Maribor club legend, he is tied with Gregor Židan as a player with the most appearances for the club during the 1990s.
Šimundža has been capped three times for the Slovenia national football team between 1993 and 1999. He has represented his nation on matches against Estonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Greece.
