NK Osijek is a Croatian football club, from Osijek in the northeast of Croatia.
It was formed in 1945 as NK Proleter, changed its name to NK Slavonija in 1961 and took its current name in 1968. Since the late 1970s the club has almost exclusively played in the top division. The club entered the Yugoslav First League in 1977 and remained there until its dissolution in 1991 (with the exception of the 1980/81 season). Osijek was one of the founding members of the Croatian First League in 1991 and has played there ever since.
It has seen moderate success in the Croatian First League, achieving a UEFA Cup spot in 1997/1998 and winning the Croatian Cup in 1999.
The club's most famous former player is Davor Šuker, who went on to be one of the most successful Croats in international play and a starter on many of Europe's top clubs.
NK Osijek plays out of Gradski vrt Stadium which has a capacity of 19,500. The team's fans are known as the Kohorta.
