Dr. Milutin Ivković (Serbian Cyrillic: др Mилутин Ивкoвић; March 3, 1906 – 23 May 1943) was a Serbian football defender who played for Yugoslavia at 1928 Summer Olympics and FIFA World Cup 1930. Ivković played as a right-back and was known as Milutinac.

Born March 3, 1906 in Belgrade, he was shot by nazis during World War II on 23 May 1943 in Jajinci (near Belgrade) during World War II.

Known for his great personality, a footballer, one of the best fullbacks in the history of Yugoslav football, he was also a doctor and a communist political activist during World War II.

He started playing football in the youth team of SK Jugoslavija, and became a regular senior player for the club between 1922 and 1929 playing a total of 235 matches. Towards the end of his career he moved to another Belgrade club, BASK. Belgrade for the national team played 42 games, one fewer than the recorder, Moša Marjanović. He played the two games for the "B" team (1927–1928).

He wore Yugoslav national team jersey dress 39 times. He made his debut on October 28, 1925 against Czechoslovakia (0-7 defeat) in Prague, and last match for the national team was played on December 16, 1934 against France (2-3 defeat) in Paris. He participated in the first 1930 FIFA World Cup in Montevideo and provided a brilliant match against Brazil (2-1 win).

To this day lives an unforgeatble memory of his great exhibitions in 1927 against Romania (3-0 win) in Bucharest, the same year against Czechoslovakia (1-1) in Belgrade, in 1929 against France (3-1) in Paris and in Belgrade in 1931 against Hungary (3-2) and Czechoslovakia (2-1).
