Zvonimir Kožulj (born 15 November 1993) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for 1. HNL club Hajduk Split and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.
Born in Ljubuški, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kožulj started his youth career in 2000 with Zrinjski Mostar. In 2011, he left Zrinjski for Široki Brijeg after negotiations with the Zrinjski board failed. He made his senior debut for Široki Brijeg on 30 March 2013 after lengthy recovery from a serious injury sustained at the start of the season. In the summer of 2013, he was loaned to Vitez where he stayed until December 2013. He scored his first senior goal playing for Vitez, in a 1–1 draw with Zrinjski. In the second part of the 2013–14 season, he was loaned again, this time to Branitelj to gain experience.
He returned to Široki Brijeg at the beginning of the 2014–15 season in which he managed to establish himself as a first-team player. At the end of 2015–16 season, he was in contention for the award given to the best player of the league.
On 14 June 2016, he made a transfer to Croatian club Hajduk Split worth €200,000. Kožulj made his Hajduk debut in a 2–2 draw against Politehnica Iași in the second round of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League qualifying, playing the full 90 minutes. Kožulj made his league debut on 17 July 2016, scoring in a 2–0 away win over Cibalia in the first round of the 1. HNL. For his performance, Kožulj was voted as the best player in the 1st round of the league.
Kožulj was part of Bosnia and Herzegovina under-19 and Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21 squads.
