Ivan Budincevic (Serbian Cyrillic: ???? ???????????, born 7 July 1955) is a former Yugoslav football goalkeeper most remembered for his professional spell with Hajduk Split. He began his career in his home city with the Backa Subotica and continued with the biggest local club Spartak, where he attracted the attention of the media and of the leading Yugoslav clubs, so he went to Hajduk Split.
At the beginning he was a substitute to Ivan Katalinic, but later he became the first choice keeper, winning the title in the season 1978–79.. After Hajduk, he was playing with NK Olimpija Ljubljana and Dinamo Vinkovci until a life-threatening injury suffered during a game has interrupted his career at the age 33.
However, three years later, the economic hardship and a need to make a living for his family has forced him to resume the goal-keeping, so he played with low-level clubs in Northern Serbia until age of 45. After retiring, he became the goalkeeper coach in his first club Backa.
He was also the administrator of the "Croats of Serbia" team at the 2016 EUROPEADA games.
