Vladimir Dzurilla (Aug 2, 1942, Bratislava - Mar 15, 1995, Düsseldorf) was a Czechoslovakian ice hockey goal keeper.

Dzurilla, a refrigerator repairman by profession, was goalie for the Czechoslovakian national team for over 16 years, winning two gold, three silver and four bronze medals at world championships as well as two silver and one bronze Olympic medals.

For North American fans, he is mostly known for stopping 29 shots in a 1-0 win over Canada in the 1976 Canada Cup (where the Czechoslovaks would win silver).
