Goran Zakarić (Bosnian pronunciation: [ɡǒran zǎkaritɕ]; born 7 November 1992) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Macedonian First Football League club FK Vardar.

Zakarić started his professional career at Kozara Gradiška, before joining Široki Brijeg in 2010. The following year, he moved to Dinamo Zagreb.
