Zvonimir Vukić (Serbian Cyrillic: Звонимир Вукић; born 19 July 1979) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

At international level, Vukić represented Serbia and Montenegro at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Vukić started out at his hometown club Proleter Zrenjanin, making his senior debuts in the 1996–97 season, aged 17. He became a first team regular in the following 1997–98 campaign, attracting the attention of numerous domestic and foreign clubs. In the summer of 1998, Vukić was snapped by Spanish club Atlético Madrid.

After spending almost two years with Atlético's B team, playing in the Segunda División, Vukić returned to his homeland and signed with Partizan in April 2000. He made a name for himself over the following four seasons at the club, scoring 52 goals in all competitions. In the 2002–03 season, Vukić was the league's top scorer with 22 goals, as Partizan won the title.

In June 2003, Vukić signed a five-year contract with Ukrainian runners-up Shakhtar Donetsk. He was the club's top scorer with 13 goals in all competitions during his debut season. In his second year at the club, Vukić helped the side win the championship despite being scoreless in the process. He also made his UEFA Champions League debut that season against the likes of Barcelona and Milan.
