Boban Dmitrović (; born 2 April 1972) is a Serbian football manager and former player.
Club career Born in Konarevo, a village near Kraljevo, Dmitrović started out at local club Budućnost Konarevo, before joining Sloga Kraljevo. He made his First League of FR Yugoslavia debut with Rad in the 1993–94 season. In the summer of 1996, Dmitrović moved to Austria to play for Grazer AK. He spent seven seasons with the club, making 198 appearances and scoring 12 goals in the Austrian Bundesliga. In May 2003, Dmitrović signed with GAK's crosstown rivals Sturm Graz, penning a two-year contract. He ended up playing 52 league games for the club.
