Ante Jazic (born in February 26, 1976 in Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada) is the highest-level professional soccer player ever to come from Nova Scotia. A Canadian national team member, Jazic currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer. He played for a number of top clubs in Europe during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Playing for one the nation's strongest amateur teams Halifax King of Donair and a year with Dalhousie University in which he was named All-Canadian CIAU, Jazic began his professional career by joining NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac in 1997 after a successful try-out arranged by an uncle in Croatia. After two years with Dragovoljac, the midfielder / defender joined Croatian First League club Hajduk Split for the 1999-00 and 2000-01 seasons.

Jazic played four seasons with Rapid Vienna. He most recently played for FC Kuban Krasnodar in the Russian First Division. On June 27, 2006, he signed a contract with the LA Galaxy of MLS, which will reunite him with former Canadian National team coach Frank Yallop.
