Dragoslav "Dragan" Mihajlović (born December 13, 1906 in Aleksinac , Kingdom of Serbia , † June 18, 1978 in Sale , Australia ) was a Yugoslav football player .

The defender , who was nicknamed Vampire , was a member of the Yugoslav national soccer team at the first soccer World Cup in 1930 . There he was used in the group matches against Brazil and Bolivia and in the semifinals against Uruguay. Mihajlović made his international debut a month before the World Cup in a friendly against Bulgaria, but after the World Cup he was no longer used.

In November 1930 he suffered a serious leg injury in a game with his club OFK Belgrade against the Czechoslovak club Slavia Prague and had to end his career at the age of 24. Mihajlović was already in the police force during his active career and remained in this position before emigrating to Australia in 1944. There he settled in Sale in the state of Victoria and worked as a trainer at SC Sale City and the Footscray JUST founded by Yugoslav migrants . Mihajlović died in 1978 of kidney disease.
