Nikola Drinčić (Cyrillic: Никола Дринчић; born 7 September 1984) is a professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder.
After playing for Serbia's national under-21 team, Drinčić represented Montenegro at senior level between 2007 and 2014.
After spending his development years in Partizan's youth academy, Drinčić made his senior debuts with the club's affiliated side Teleoptik. He signed a professional contract with Partizan in March 2004, making four league appearances until the end of the season. In the next two years, Drinčić was sent on loan to Spartak Subotica and Budućnost Banatski Dvor, enjoying a successful stint with the latter, scoring nine league goals from 28 appearances in the 2005–06 season.
In the summer of 2006, Drinčić was sold to Turkish Süper Lig club Gaziantepspor. He left the country after only six months, transferring to Russian club Amkar Perm. Over the following three years, Drinčić made 81 league appearances and scored four goals for the side.
In January 2010, Drinčić joined Spartak Moscow on a free transfer. He however broke his shinbone in a friendly just two weeks after joining the club, causing him to make a half-year break from competitive football. After recovering, Drinčić was never able to break into the starting eleven and appeared in just four league games for the club, eventually leaving at the end of the season.
