Ognjen Vranješ (Serbian Cyrillic: Огњен Врањеш; born 24 October 1989) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Greek club AEK Athens and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.
Vranješ started his career playing for his hometown club Borac Banja Luka in the Bosnian Premier League before moving to Red Star in Serbia. After struggling to establish himself in the first team of Red Star, he first went on loan to Napredak Kruševac and then to Sheriff from Moldova in the 2010–11 season. He caused some controversy when he celebrated Sheriff eliminating Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb in the qualification for the Champions League, wearing a Red Star shirt.
On 12 January 2011, Vranješ signed a three-and-a-half year contract for Krasnodar in the Russian First Division.
On 12 December 2012, he signed a three-year contract with Alania Vadikavkaz. In May 2013, he suffered an injury which kept him off the pitch for almost 8 months.
After he returned to the pitch, he signed a contract with Turkish side Elazığspor in January 2014.
In September 2014 he was on trials with Czech side Příbram but ended up returning to Elazığspor.
On 2 February 2015, he signed for Turkish club Gaziantepspor. On 25 January 2016, his contract was mutually terminated.
