Vedran Kukoč (born 26 January 1976 in Split), is a Croatian professional football player currently not attached to a club. His last team was Malaysian Super League side Perak. His preferred position is central defence.
Kukoč previously played for NK Osijek and HNK Šibenik in the Croatian Prva HNL.
He was known for his aerial abilities, something which most Malaysian defenders lack. His assured performances confirmed Kukoč's status as a fan favourite. While at Perak, he was affectionately nicknamed Cookie by their fans.
Kukoc requested, and was subsequently granted, a release at the end of the 2007 season as he wanted to get married.
