Ognjen Koroman (Serbian Cyrillic: Огњен Короман; born September 19, 1978 in Pale, Bosnia-Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian football player. He currently plays for Serbian club Red Star Belgrade.

A talented midfielder who can operate wide on either flank, Koroman began his career at FK Radnicki Kragujevac. He moved from OFK Beograd to Russian club Dynamo Moscow in 2002, and subsequently played for fellow Russian clubs FC Krylia Sovetov Samara and FC Terek Grozny, scoring 16 goals in 94 matches there.

In January 2006 Koroman moved on loan to English club Portsmouth F.C.,^[1] scoring on the final day of the season against Liverpool.^[2]

He followed that up with a good World Cup for Serbia which included an outstanding performance against Holland. However he was the subject of criticism during the tournament after he was yellow carded for twice waving an imaginary card and urging the referee to book an opponent.

In August 2006 Koroman was re-signed on a season long loan deal to Portsmouth,^[3] however after falling out favour at Portsmouth and seeing little action, he signed for Red Star Belgrade on February 6, 2007,^[4] in a seven month loan deal. In August 2007 he signed a 3-year contract with Red Star. He also made a debut as team captain in the Serbian Superliga first round match against FK Čukarički Stankom, replacing Dejan Milovanović who was the team captain for the last 18 months.
