Antun Herceg (; 9 November 1927 – 16 April 2013) was a Yugoslav football manager and player.[1]
Following his stint in the Yugoslav Second League with Sloga Novi Sad (later reverted to Vojvodina), Herceg played regularly for Partizan from 1951 to 1958, making 141 appearances and scoring 38 goals in the Yugoslav First League. He also helped the club win the Yugoslav Cup on three occasions (1952, 1954, and 1956–57).[2]
At international level, Herceg played 12 times and scored two goals for Yugoslavia. He made his national team debut in a 2–1 friendly win against Sweden on 3 September 1950, netting the winning goal. His final cap came on 5 May 1957 in a World Cup qualifier against Greece that ended in a goalless draw.[3]
In the summer of 1970, Herceg returned to TSG Backnang as manager, having previously served as the club's player-manager from 1962 to 1965.[4]
