Tomislav Ivković (born August 11, 1960) is a retired Croatian football goalkeeper who also played in 38 international matches for the national team of former Yugoslavia between 1983 and 1991.

He was born in Zagreb and started his professional career playing for Dinamo Zagreb in 1978. He moved to Dinamo Vinkovci in 1982, but soon changed his club by moving to Red Star Belgrade in 1983. In 1985, he transferred to his first foreign club as he joined Tirol Innsbruck from Austria, where he played until 1988. After short spells with Wiener Sportclub and Racing Genk, he went on to move to Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon in 1989 and continued to play for the club until 1993. He subsequently continued to play in Portugal for Estoril, Vitória Setúbal and Belenenses before going into retirement.

With the Yugoslav national team, he participated at the Euro 1984 in France, won the bronze medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and reached the quarterfinals of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, where the team was defeated by Argentina in the penalty shootout and Ivković himself became remembered for saving Diego Maradona's kick.

He was in the Croatian national team as their goalkeeping coach after replacing Dražen Ladić on this position in 2004. The team also participated at the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals in Germany.
