Davor Domazet-Lošo (born 1948) is a Croatian writer, geopolitician and retired admiral of the Croatian Navy.

Domazet-Lošo was born in Sinj. He graduated from all the Yugoslav People's Army schools, including the Military Academy, and started his military career in the Yugoslav Navy.

Domazet-Lošo (then a captain) defected to the Croatian Army in autumn 1991. He became actively involved in military operations and organized the military intelligence services. He became the head of the Office for Strategic Research (1991), and the head of the Intelligence Service of the Croatian Army Headquarters (1992).

In 1992, he and Ante Gotovina were the chief commanders of the Livno front and the large area of military operations covering the northern and central Dalmatia, southern Bosnia and Herzegovina. His biggest strategic successes include the planning of major operations in Croatia and Bosnia (Operation Flash, Operation Storm, Operation South Move) and the fight against enemy intelligence, as well as the incursions into the enemy camp - the most spectacular being the wiretapping of Slobodan Milošević in his Belgrade headquarters.

He continued his career in the Croatian Army, becoming a rear admiral and finally an admiral in 2000. He served as the Deputy Chief of Staff and the Chief of Staff (1998–2000).

He was forced into retirement in 2000, after he and eleven other generals signed an open letter accusing the Croatian president Stjepan Mesić of participating in the attempt to denigrate and criminalize the Croatian War of Independence and its participants.
