Saša Drakulić (Serbian Cyrillic: "Саша Дракулић"), (born 28th August 1972 in Yugoslavia) is a Serbian footballer. The striker went to Korea in 1995 and during his eight seasons in the K-League made a name for himself as one of the most successful imports ever in the league.

Drakulić joined Red Star Belgrade and Prishtina in 1993. In 1995 he joined the Korean side Daewoo Royals, scoring eight goals the first season. He played for the Royals until 1997, when he made the switch to Suwon Samsung Bluewings which was founded the previous year. With the Bluewings he won two consecutive K-League Championships in 1998 and 1999, before making an ill-fated switch to J-League side Kashiwa Reysol.

He spent a short unhappy period in Japan before returning to Suwon in mid-2000, but at the end of that year he was on the move again, joining Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma. Drakulić won three Championship medals from 2001-2003 with the Chunma before departing the K-League and signing for Cypriot side AEK Larnaca.

During his eight seasons in South Korea, Drakulić scored 104 goals in his 271 matches, at the time the second-highest scoring tally in the history of the league. He holds the record for the most shots on goal with 941 strikes.

In 2005 he moved back to the Serbo-Montenegrin Football League with Vojvodina Novi Sad, but subsequently moved on to second division side ČSK Pivara at the start of 2006. After CSK Pivara, Drakulic joined Mladost Apatin in July 2006.

After a successful year with Mladost, Drakulic moved back to Vojvodina in the summer of 2007, and made an appearance in the UEFA Cup tie against Hibernians FC. His Vojvodina contract was cancelled in December 2007 after he picked up a cruciate knee injury whilst playing in an indoor football tournament without the permission of his club.
