Blaž "Baka" Slišković (born May 30, 1959 in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, FPR Yugoslavia) is a famous Bosnian/Yugoslav football player. He is an ethnic Croat.

Nicknamed "Balkan Maradona".He is considered a traitor for Velez fans, he coached their fierce rivals NK Zrinjski Mostar.

During his time Slišković was considered one of the most technically gifted players of his generation. However, his talent and potential were only matched by his lax attitude towards training and overall unprofessional behavior. Although most experts expected him to create a great international career, he was only capped 26 times for Yugoslavia. He scored 3 goals in the process.

He has managed the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team from 2002 until 2006.
