Igor Bišćan (pronounced [i:ɡor biʃ:t͡ɕan]; born 4 May 1978) is a Croatian former professional footballer and manager who currently manages Druga HNL club NK Rudeš. In his playing career, he was a versatile player and could play almost every position in the defence or midfield, but featured mostly as a central midfielder, or as a central defender in his latter years.

Bišćan played for his hometown club Dinamo Zagreb, the English team Liverpool, Greek side Panathinaikos and represented Croatia at the international level, debuting in UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying match against Macedonia on 13 June 1999.

On 23 August 2015 the Zagreb County Court ruled a final conditional sentence that the former Dinamo player Igor Biscan is sentenced to three months in prison with a trial period for a year. Because of his attack on a taxi driver back in January 2010 in Zagreb, Croatia, he went to court three times. On two occasions he was acquitted on the grounds that it was self defence, but both of those judgments quashed by a higher court ordering a new trial and Biscan was also found guilty back in December 2014. The indictment alleges that Biscan, back in 2010, insulted two employees of Zagrebparking who wanted to take his illegally parked car and then clashed with the taxi driver who stood up for those men. Biscan hit the taxi driver head to head and continued beating him with fists while taxi driver was on the ground. It was not the first time Biscan had incident like this. He had similar incident in the public when he hit the rival football player the same way head to head in the middle of the football match and he got suspended and paid dearly for intentionally hitting him.
