Tomislav Butina (pronounced [tǒmislaʋ bǔtina]; born 30 March 1974) is a Croatian former professional footballer who played as goalkeeper for Dinamo Zagreb, Club Brugge and Olympiacos.

He was also capped 28 times for the Croatia national team in the period from 2001 to 2006, and was member of Croatian squads at the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups, as well as UEFA Euro 2004.

[3] The next three seasons, he featured regularly in the Dinamo Zagreb first team, making a total of 90 league appearances and winning two Croatian Cups with the club.

During the 2002–03 season, Butina appeared in all 32 of Dinamo Zagreb's league matches and conceded only 27 goals, which helped the club secure its first title since 2000.

[5] Butina played his last match for Club Brugge on 15 February 2006 against Roma in a 2–1 defeat at Jan Breydel Stadium in the 2005–06 UEFA Cup.

Following his two-year spell with the Greek club, Butina decided to sign for the reigning Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb.

[6] On 23 May 2008, exactly 15 years following his debut for the Dinamo Zagreb first team, he signed a two-year deal with the Croatian club after previously being released from his contract with Olympiacos.

[2] Butina made his debut for the Croatia under-21 team on 19 April 1994, playing the full 90 minutes in a friendly match against Slovakia which finished by a goalless draw.

He made his last international appearance in Croatia's 1–0 defeat to Poland in a friendly match played on 3 June 2006 in Wolfsburg during the two teams' preparations for the 2006 FIFA World Cup tournament.

[10] Butina was called to take part in a 23-man squad at the 2002 FIFA World Cup final tournament by then manager Mirko Jozić and was issued the number 12 shirt.

Although Butina was part of Croatia's 23-man squad at the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals in Germany, he lost his place in the starting lineup to Pletikosa and remained an unused substitute in all of the team's three group matches.

[10] He announced his retirement from the national team a few weeks after the tournament, citing his desire to concentrate on club career and to spend more time with his family.
