Mladen Romić (23 May 1962 – 19 January 2006) was a Croatian football player.

Club career

As a player, he spent much of his career, nine seasons in total, with HNK Rijeka. While playing for NK Pomorac in 2002, at the age of 39, he became the oldest player to have played in Prva HNL. Since then, he has been overtaken by Davor Vugrinec and Jakov Surać.[1]

International career

He made his debut for Croatia in a July 1992 friendly match away against Australia and earned a total of 3 caps, scoring no goals, all during the tour of Australia. His final international was a week later against the same opposition.[2]

Post-playing career

Between 2003 and his premature death due to illness in 2006,[3] he was sporting director of HNK Rijeka. Rijeka's fans, Armada Rijeka, created a mural near Stadion Kantrida in his honour to commemorate his contribution to the club.[4]
