Vladimir Jugović (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Југовић, born 30 August 1969) is a Serbian former footballer.

Born in Milutovac, a village near Trstenik, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia, Jugović played throughout his career for numerous top European teams, winning the Champions League twice (with Red Star Belgrade and Juventus). He is regarded as one of the finest players that Serbia has ever produced and one of the best midfielders of his generation. At international level, he represented Yugoslavia in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and at UEFA Euro 2000.

Upon joining Red Star, he was loaned to FK Rad for the whole 1989–90 season. When Ljupko Petrović became coach of Red Star, Jugović was returned to the starting eleven. In 1991, Jugović played in the 1991 European Cup Final, which Red Star won. Subsequently, he won the Intercontinental Cup as Red Star beat Colo-Colo 3–0. By the end of his career with Red Star, he was awarded the Star of Red Star and became one of the most celebrated footballers in Yugoslavia.

U.C. Sampdoria invited Jugović at the insistence of Vujadin Boškov. He spent three successful seasons at Sampdoria, during which he helped the team win the 1993–94 Coppa Italia.
