Senad Lulić (Bosnian pronunciation: ; born 18 January 1986) is a Bosnian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Lulić started his professional career at Chur 97, before joining Bellinzona in 2006. Two years later, he switched to Grasshoppers. In 2010, he was transferred to Young Boys. The following year, he moved to Lazio. Lulić made his senior international debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2008, earning over 50 caps until 2017. He represented the nation at their first major championship, the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He is one of very few professional footballers in history from the mountainous region Grisons which is more well-known for its hockey players and ski racers.

In May 2008, Lulić received his first senior call-up to Bosnia and Herzegovina, for a friendly game against Azerbaijan, and debuted in that game on 1 June.

On 7 June 2013, in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Latvia, he scored his first senior international goal.

In June 2014, Lulić was named in Bosnia and Herzegovina's squad for 2014 FIFA World Cup, country's first major competition. He made his tournament debut in the opening group match against Argentina on 15 June.

With six assists, he was the best assist provider in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying, along with Arkadiusz Milik and Vladimír Weiss.

He retired from international football on 29 December 2017.

Because of the outbreak of Bosnian War, Lulić's family fled from his native Bosnia and Herzegovina and moved to Switzerland. Lulić married his long-time girlfriend Sandra in May 2005. Together they have three children, a daughter named Lea and two sons named Lian and Luca.
