Mario Cvitanović (born 6 May 1975) is a Croatian former football defender. He has made seven appearances for the Croatia national football team.

In 1995, Cvitanović started his career in the Croatian capital, where he won five consecutive national championships with Dinamo Zagreb (formerly Croatia Zagreb).[1] He then spent four seasons in the Italian league, playing for Hellas Verona, Venezia, Genoa and Napoli before moving to Belgian side Germinal Beerschot.
