Duško Trifunović (Serbian: Душко Трифуновић, 13 September 1933 – 28 January 2006) was a Yugoslav writer, poet and television author.

Born in the small village of Sijekovac near Bosanski Brod (then part of the Vrbas Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia),[1] to father Vaso and illiterate mother Petra.

Parallel to his factory work, he also secretly wrote poetry and once in Sarajevo finally got a chance to pursue it in earnest.

He also wrote over 300 song lyrics,[1] most notably for Bijelo dugme (nation-wide hits "Ne gledaj me tako i ne ljubi me više" "Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu", "Doživjeti stotu", "Pristao sam biću sve što hoće", and "Ima neka tajna veza", as well as other tracks like "Glavni junak jedne knjige" and "Ništa mudro"), Indexi (hit "I pad je let"), Zdravko Čolić (hit "Glavo luda"), Vajta (hit "Zlatna ribica"), Jadranka Stojaković, Neda Ukraden, and Željko Joksimović ("Ima nešto u tom što me nećeš").

He died on 28 January 2006 in Novi Sad (at the time Serbia and Montenegro) at the age of 72, and was interred at the Čerat Cemetery in Sremski Karlovci where he had lived during the last years of his life.
