Dušan "Luks" Marković (Serbian Cyrillic: Душан "Лукс" Mapкoвић; 9 March 1906 – 29 November 1974) was a Serbian football player and football manager.

He was described by local press as a great, cleaver and effective

BSK Belgrade
, the best pre-war Serbian club, having scored at least once in every match he played against them. He was especially dangerous because he had the ability to shoot and surprise the goalkeepers from any angle.

He spent most of his career with

BSK Belgrade and French club Grenoble
.

He was part of the Yugoslavia national football team for some period, but he only played one match, as a substitute of the famous striker Blagoje Marjanović in a friendly match played on October 9, 1932, in Prague, against Czechoslovakia, a 2–1 win. He was part of the Yugoslav team at the 1930 FIFA World Cup, but didn't play any match.

After retiring, he remained linked to football as a manager, having coached some clubs in Yugoslavia. He coached Gragjanski Skopje in the 1938–39 Yugoslav Football Championship and Željezničar between 1939 and 1941.[1]

He died in 1974, in the aftermath of a prostate surgery.[2]
