Branko Rasić (born February 13, 1976, in Prokuplje, Serbia) is a Serbian footballer (striker) playing currently for Unia Janikowo. He is a trainee of FK Crvena Zvezda. He is 1m 81 cm tall and weighs 79 kg.

He was the centre of a scandal in play-off match between Szczakowianka Jaworzno and RKS Radomsko, with Radomsko claiming he was ineligible to play as he was on loan from Victoria Jaworzno before the transfer window at the time. The case took several years to resolve, with numerous court proceedings, Polish FA involvement and even appeals to UEFA, Polish Olympic Committee, and debates in the Polish parliament. The case had widespread consequences, with many officials punished and removed from office as a result, and changes in law to prevent similar incidents in the future.
