Refik Kozić (Serbian Cyrillic: Рефик Козић, born 1950) is a retired Yugoslav professional footballer who played for FK Partizan, and in the NASL between 1980 and 1984 for the Tampa Bay Rowdies. His son Alen Kozić was also a professional player.

Born in Bačko Novo Selo, SR Serbia, Kozić began his professional career with NK Istra in 1968. He moved to FK Partizan in 1972 where he played in the Yugoslav First League for 8 seasons.[1] In 1980, he signed with the Tampa Bay Rowdies. In November 1983, the New York Cosmos signed Kozić after the Rowdies had waived him two months prior. Kozic played the 1983-1984 NASL indoor season with the Rowdies. On April 27, 1984, the Cosmos traded Kozić back to the Rowdies in exchange for Pedro DeBrito.[2]
