Igor Budan (born 22 April 1980 in Rijeka) is a Croatian football striker.

Budan played in his native NK Rijeka for two seasons until he moved to Italy in 1999. He was one of the players transferred to Palermo from S.S.C. Venezia in 2002 by Maurizio Zamparini. He spent two very good seasons between 2003 and 2005 with Atalanta where he was a regular.

In 2006, after a season long loan which produced his best goalscoring record, he signed a new five year contract with Parma. Currently he is a major player for Parma FC.

Internationals

Budan was capped for the Croatian U-18 team at 1998 UEFA U-18 Championship (now U-19 event), U-20 team at 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship (now FIFA U-20 World Cup).

On 7 February, 2007, Budan made his international debut for Croatia in the 2-1 friendly win against Norway, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Boško Balaban. [ [http://www.sportsline.com/soccer/story/9981392 Croatia beats Norway 2-1 in international friendly] "AP News", 7 February 2007]
