Franjo Arapović (born 2 June 1965) is a Croatian former professional basketball player who played as a center.

Four years earlier he was a member of the Yugoslavia national team, that won the silver medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics.

In his professional career, he played for KK Lokomotiva Mostar, after which he moved to Croatian clubs Cibona, Croatia Osiguranje Split and Zrinjevac.

David Robinson was whistled for a foul on the play, and Arapović demonstratively hung on the rim for several moments before giving the cheering crowd several fist-pumps.
