Domagoj Vuković (born October 29, 1993) is a Croatian professional basketball player for Cibona Zagreb in the Croatian League and the ABA League.

A native of Rijeka, he started playing basketball in his home town clubs before joining the Nikola Vujčić Academy. His first professional contract was with Split. After playing for Split, Zagreb and Zabok in August 2016 he joined another A-1 Liga team: Vrijednosnice Osijek.[1] After spending a season there in August 2017 he moved to Zadar.[2] After averaging 10 points and 7.5 rebounds per game during the 2019-20 season, Vuković had his contract with Zadar extended for two years on May 20, 2020.[3]

In April, 2022, Vuković fell to an injury of his achilles tendon which kept him off the court for more than six months. In November, 2022, Vuković signed with Cibona of the Croatian League and ABA League.[4]

In February, 2024, Vuković left the financially-troubled Cibona for a more lucrative contract with the Taiwanese Tainan TSG GhostHawks playing in the T1 League. He signed a contract for the remainder of the 2023–24 season.[5][6]

In September 2024, Vuković signed again with Cibona.[7]
