Predrag "Sasha" Danilović (Serbian Cyrillic: Предраг "Саша" Даниловић) (born February 26 1970, in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia) is a retired Bosnian Serb professional basketball player, considered the best European shooting guard during the 90s. Danilović was voted European Player of the Year in 1995, and was the 1998 Italian Basketball League MVP. During his years in Virtus Bologna, he became an idol among team's fans. Still a legendary hero in Bologna, Danilovic remains one of the most charimatic and winning players in european basketball history.

With the national basketball team, Danilović won four Eurobaskets in 1989, 1991, 1995, 1997. He was also a member of the silver medal winning Yugoslavian team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Even though he was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 43rd pick overall in the 1992 NBA Draft (his rights were later dealt to another team), he spent time playing in Europe before debuting in the NBA. Danilović played for KK Bosna Sarajevo, KK Partizan, and Virtus Kinder Bologna before he was a member of the NBA's Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks from 1995 until 1997. During his two NBA seasons, Danilović averaged 12.8 points per game.

With the Italian team Virtus Kinder Bologna he won four national championships (1993, 1994, 1995, 1998), one Italian Cup (1999) and one Euroleague (1998).

Danilović was co-vice president of his old club KK Partizan with Serbian star Vlade Divac, and he is currently involved with Group Seven, a charity organization run by Serbian basketball players.
