Nikola Budišić (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Будишић; born 12 October 1947) is a Serbian retired professional footballer who played as a defender, most notably with FK Partizan. In total, he appeared in 348 matches for Partizan (127 domestic league outings).
He was one of the first foreign players of Panathinaikos after the fall of the Greek military junta in 1974. Budišić joined Eredivisie side NAC in 1975 from Partizan for 100 thousand Dutch guilders and quickly impressed local powerhouses Feyenoord and Ajax, but remained loyal to the Breda club before moving south to join Belgian side Beringen four years later.[1]
Today he is head of the Ajax Football School in Sremska Mitrovica and lives in Laćarak.[2]
