Nikola Vujadinović (Никола Вујадиновић; born 31 July 1986) is a Montenegrin professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Serbian club OFK Beograd.
Vujadinović also holds a Serbian and Bulgarian passport (and consequently EU citizenship) due to his grandfather being a Bulgarian.[3] On the international level, Vujadinović played for the Montenegro national team.

On 15 January 2011, Vujadinović's loan was extended until the end of the season.[11] Under managers Mark McGhee and then Craig Brown, he made 18 league appearances and also represented the club in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup.[12] His loan to Aberdeen expired at the end of the 2010–11 season following being photographed with avid fan Greg Davidson[13]
During the winter break of the 2011–12 season, Vujadinović moved from Italy back to Serbia to play on loan with the SuperLiga side FK Javor Ivanjica.[14]
