Jasmin Emrić (born November 29, 1969) is a politician in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He has served in the House of Representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2014 as a member of the Party of Democratic Activity (Bosnian: Stranka demokratske aktivnosti, A-SDA).
Emrić was born in Čava, Bosnia and Herzegovina, then part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. His parliamentary biography indicates that he is an engineer in the field of geodesy and that he was the director of the organization GEOID in Bihać until 2014.
Emrić was elected to the municipal council of Bužim as a candidate of the Party of Democratic Action (Bosnian: Stranka demokratske akcije, SDA) in 2000. The SDA won a landslide majority in this election, and Emrić was subsequently chosen by councillors as the city's mayor. He left the SDA at some point between 2000 and 2004 and was re-elected as mayor as an independent candidate in the 2004 municipal elections, the first to be held after Bosnia and Herzegovina introduced the direct election of mayors. He joined the A-SDA in 2008 and was defeated by SDA candidate Mirsad Sahinović in the 2008 municipal elections.
He was elected to the Una-Sana Canton legislature in the 2010 elections and served until the end of his term in 2014, leading a four-member grouping from his party.
