Davor Vugrinec (born 24 March 1975) is a Croatian former professional footballer. He primarily played as a striker, but also operated as an attacking midfielder or a second striker. He is all-time top scorer of the Croatian First Football League with 146 goals he has scored for five different clubs and also the oldest player to score a goal in the league, netting for Slaven Belupo 10 days before his 40th birthday.[1]

Vugrinec is currently the vice-president of NK Varaždin, a different organization from the defunct (as of 2015) Varteks / Varaždin club he was with during his playing career.[2]
