Vice Vukov is a Croatian singer and politician.

In 1960s he used to be one of the most popular singers in Yugoslavia. He appeared at the Eurovision Song Contest 1963 with the song Brodovi and at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 with the song Ceznja. Neither of the songs was succesful at the Eurovision.

After Croatian Spring he was branded as Croatian nationalist by Yugoslav authorities. Subsequently, he was barred from performing publicly and all his records were pulled out of stores.

In 1989 album of his new songs, albeit without his name, reappeared in Croatian music stores, signalling the political change.

After the introduction of democracy to Croatia, Vice Vukov became a prominent supporter of Croatian People's Party. He ran several times for the seat in Croatian Parliament, finally succeeding in 2000.

In November 2005, while descending the stairs in the Parliament building, Vukov tripped and fell, sustaining a serious head injury. He was hospitalized and underwent surgery; as of December 2005, his condition is still listed as critical.
