Zvonimir Vukić (Serbian Cyrillic: Звонимир Вукић), (born July 19, 1979 in Zrenjanin, Vojvodina, Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian footballer who currently plays for Shakhtar Donetsk.

He made a name for himself at Partizan Belgrade, where he played for 4 seasons (scoring 45 goals), before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Summer of 2003. He spent 2 seasons in Ukraine, getting the taste of Champions League football in 2004/05 campaign.

In August 2005 he was loaned to English Premier League team Portsmouth FC for the 2005 season on the last day of the Summer transfer window, but following the sacking of manager Alain Perrin and reinstatement of former manager Harry Redknapp he was deemed surplus to requirements.

In January 2006 he found himself back in familiar territory, having been loaned to former club Partizan Belgrade for the rest of the 2005 season.

He has several international appearances to his name, the first of which was against Azerbaijan in February 2003. He was part of the Serbia and Montenegro national football team at the 2006 World Cup, where he came in from the bench in one game.
