Đurađ Vasić (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђурађ Васић) (born September 19, 1956) is a Serbian former professional footballer and coach.

Initially he played for the Yugoslav second division club FK Novi Sad. He also was lined up for 17 matches of Yugoslavia's Olympic football selection. 1984 he moved to Germany to play as defender for VfR 1910 Bürstadt 24 times in the second division, scoring three goals, thereof two penalties. After that season Bürstadt was relegated, but Đurađ Vasić stuck with the club for seven years in the third division.

In the coaching career that ensued in 1992, initially in Bürstadt, he generally was at the helm of third division clubs. 1994 he started coaching FC Schweinfurt 05 in the fourth division, achieving promotion in 1998 and another one to the second division in 2001. Inside a year though, Schweinfurt was relegated again and he got eventually the sack in November 2002.

From 2003 to 2006 he coached third division side SV Wehen, missing out on promotion by only one point in 2005.

In October 2006 he was hired by second division side Eintracht Braunschweig as successor to Michael Krüger and interim coach Willi Kronhardt. An exit clause in his contract with Wehen allowed him that move. After five matches without gaining a single point, Eintracht thought it pointless to hang on to him and let him go by November. Eintracht was relegated as dead last by the end of the season all the same. Two more coaches, Willi Reimann and Dietmar Demuth made it altogether five for the season.

In 2007 he had a this time short stint with Wehen: already out by mid August 2007. In March 2008 he took on SV Elversberg where he was let go by October 2009. From July 2011 he coached the second team of MSV Duisburg for a year.

2012 he got a job as sports director supervisor with SV Wiesbaden.
