Nikola Stipić (born 18 December 1937) is a former Serbian footballer.
He started to play for Red Star Belgrade still in the youth teams, debuting for the first team in the 1956/57 season. He had an excellent start becoming known for his speed, great technical skills and dribbling, but his career suddenly came to an end because of a heavy knee injury having only 26 years old.
He made one appearance for Yugoslavia, coming on as a second-half substitute for Vladimir Lukarić in a September 1962 friendly match against Ethiopia.[1]
Afterward he became a journalist of the Belgrade-based daily Večernje novosti.[2]
