Ljubodrag "Duci" Simonović (Serbian Cyrillic: Љубодраг Дуци Симоновић; born 1 January 1949) is a Serbian philosopher, author and retired basketball player. He played with Red Star Belgrade, with which he won two National Championships, three Radivoj Korać National Cups and one FIBA European Cup Winner's Cup. From 1976 to 1978, he played for 1. FC 01 Bamberg in the German Basketball Bundesliga. Simonović played for the Yugoslav national basketball team that won the 1970 FIBA World Championship, as well as the European "all-star" team.
Born in Vrnjačka Banja to parents Jevrem Simonović and Ilonka Dobai, both of whom worked as hairdressers, young Ljubodrag grew up in Kraljevo with an older brother Vladimir. Their father Jevrem, a Montenegrin Serb born in 1911 whose mother died while giving birth to him and whose father died right after World War I, made a living as a tradesman (in addition to hairdressing he also worked as seamster and tailor) and over time developed a staunchly communist worldview. Simonović's mother Ilonka came from a mixed background, born to German mother Ana Shumetz and Hungarian father János Dobai, a left-leaning officer who participated in the ultimately unsuccessful 1919 Hungarian Revolution before fleeing over the border into the recently established Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes to escape the White Terror of Miklós Horthy, initially settling in Subotica and eventually in Kraljevo where he worked as a machinist.
