Marko Đorđević (born September 6, 1978 in Belgrade ) is a former Serbian ski racer . He mainly started in slalom and giant slalom .

Đorđević took part for the first time in 1995 in junior and FIS races , in 1996 he went to the Yugoslav championships and won the bronze medal. When he started in the Junior World Championships in the same year, he was eliminated in slalom and missed significantly better positions in giant slalom as 62nd. In the next winter of 1997, Đorđević also took part in the Alpine World Ski Championships in Sestriere for the first time and just barely missed the second round as 32nd in slalom. Nevertheless, he did not make the jump to a higher class, but he took part with the Yugoslav team at the 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano , where he was 35th in the giant slalom.

After 1998 Đorđevićs international races were rather less successful, at the Alpine World Ski Championships in 1999 he went to the start, but he missed the jump in the second round. Through constant appearances in FIS races, of which he won a total of four, he was able to qualify for the first time for the World Cup in Kitzbühel and Schladming at the end of January 2001 , but there he did not finish both times, the same fate happened to him at the Alpine Ski World Championships 2001 . Đorđevićs last major event was the 2002 Winter Olympics , in which he was even able to qualify for the second run in slalom and ultimately came in 26th.

After that, the three-time Yugoslavian champion only started in FIS races before ending his career in 2003.
