Muamer Tanković (born 22 February 1995) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Pafos.

Muamer Tanković was born to Bosnian Muslim parents in Norrköping and grew up in Hageby, a Million Programme area in the southern part of the city. He started to play football at a young age at the local club Hageby IF, before joining local giants IFK Norrköping in 2005, aged 10.

Tanković was called by Sweden after being watched by the head coach, Erik Hamrén, and made his international debut for Sweden on 5 March 2014 against Turkey coming on as a substitute for Jimmy Durmaz in the 67th minute.

After a five-year absence, Tanković was called up to the Swedish squad for the training tour in January 2019. He made his return on the pitch in a 2–2 draw against Iceland.

Tankovic made his competitive international debut in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying game against the Faroe Islands national football team on 18 November 2019, which Sweden won 3–0.

Tanković is of Bosnian descent, and while playing for Sweden in the Euro Under-19 Championship qualifiers against Bosnia and Herzegovina, he scored a hat-trick but did not celebrate out of respect for his parents' homeland. He has an older cousin named Armin Tanković who plays football in Sweden.

He is nicknamed "Mujo".
