Ljuban Crepulja (born 3 September 1993 in Čapljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a Croatian football midfielder, currently playing for KV Mechelen.

Crepulja, though born in Čapljina, hails from Sisak, where he went through the ranks of HNK Segesta, debuting as a 16-year-old in the Druga HNL. He was picked up by GNK Dinamo Zagreb's feeder team NK Lokomotiva the following season for their U19 team, progressing to Dinamo U19 team itself for the 2011/2012 season.

Not given a professional contract by Dinamo, he moved to Druga HNL again, this time to NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac, where he established himself as a first-team regular and made his first youth international caps, playing for the Croatia U20 team in December 2012.[1] Dragovoljac was promoted at the end of the season, but Crepulja moved to NK Slaven Belupo.[2] Though his start at the club was marred by a drunk-driving incident,[3] he remained a first team regular at the club.

On 19 January 2016, it was reported that Crepulja was in Glasgow for signing talks with Celtic.[4]
