Slobodan Drapić (Serbian Cyrillic: Слободан Драпић, Hebrew: סלובודן דראפיץ) is a former Serbian-Israeli football player and manager.

After coming to Israel in 1988 he played for Maccabi Netanya as a defender. In a long coaching career in Israel he became the assistant coach with Maccabi Netanya, Tzafririm Holon and Maccabi Haifa[2] When Ronny Levy left Maccabi Haifa, he also wanted to leave the club. Partizan Belgrade offered him a job as a Scout and coach assistant, but refused the offer because he wanted to stay in Israel.

In 27 September 2010, Drapić signed in a two years contract as manager of Bnei Sakhnin[3]

Drapić is wedded to his Israeli wife Anita. They have 4 children, the oldest is Dolev who is a professional basketball player in Barak Netanya[4]
