Silvije Degen (b. June 15, 1942 in Bjelovar) is a Croatian lawyer and politician from Zagreb.

Silvije Degen, a native of Zagreb, in 1980s became one of the best known lawyers in Yugoslavia. This was due to his impeccable fashion sense and tendency to take high-profile criminal cases, best known being the trial of Andrija Artuković, whom he defended unsuccessfully.

In early 1990s Degen entered politics, becoming a leader of Socialist Party of Croatia. As such, he made a minor upset on 1992 presidential elections, by finishing fifth and beating the legendary dissident Marko Veselica.
