Ljubo Milicevic (born 13 February 1981 in Melbourne) is an Australian football (soccer) player, son of both Croat parents, he currently plays for BSC Young Boys in the Swiss Super League.
Milicevic began his profesional career with Melbourne Knights in Australia playing one game before moving to Perth Glory in 1999 where he played a major role in getting the Western Australian side to its first ever NSL Grand Final in 2000. He then went on to play for FC Zurich and FC Basel in Switzerland.
He was the captain of both the Australia Under-20 and Under-23 side, the Olyroos, After being made captain he went to the U-20 World Cup in Argentina in 2001 to attract the attention of major club scouts but a terrible knee injury suffered during the tournament meant he was denied that chance. He was injured before the Athens Olympics and apparently gave the media gallery a one fingered salute after scoring a goal in a qualifying match, in response to Australian media claims that Frank Farina's team was the worst squad to ever be sent to an Olympics.
He has also been capped for Australia, His first cap was against Indonesia in 2005. He made three appearances at the 2005 Confederations Cup but was not selected in the 2006 World Cup squad.
On July 17, 2006, he was signed by Swiss outfit and FC Thun rival BSC Young Boys.
