Ognjen Koroman (born September 19, 1978 in Pale, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Bosnia-born Serbian football player. He currently plays for English club Portsmouth F.C..
A talented midfielder, Koroman began his career at FK Radnicki Kragujevac. He moved from OFK Beograd to Russian club Dynamo Moscow in 2002, and subsequently played for fellow Russian clubs FC Krylya Sovetov Samara and FC Terek Grozny, scoring 16 goals in 94 matches there.
The 27-year-old can operate wide on either flank.
In January 2006 Koroman moved on loan to English club Portsmouth F.C., scoring on the final day of the season against Liverpool. Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp is apparently a fan of his abilities.
He followed that up with a good World Cup for Serbia which included an outstanding performance against Holland.
However he was the subject of criticism during the tournament after he was yellow carded for twice waving an imaginary card and urging the referee to book an opponent.
In August 2006 Koroman was re-signed on a season long loan deal to Portsmouth.
As of December 2005 Koroman has been capped 25 times for the Serbia and Montenegro national football team (now the Serbian national football team), scoring 6 goals.
