Zvonimir Deranja (born in Dubrovnik, on September 22 1979) is a Croatian footballer currently played for R.E. Mouscron.

He began his football career with local clubs NK Slaven from Gruda and GOŠK Dubrovnik. He was discovered by Hajduk Split scouts and moved to the club's youth squad. In 1996 he joined the club's senior squad in the Croatian First League. He remained with the club until 2004, returning the following season after an unsuccessful year in France. In 2006 he moved to the French league again, this time with FC Libourne-Saint-Seurin, with whom he received more frequent playing time.

As of August 2007, Deranja has not been capped for the Croatian national team. However, he has played extensively for the country's junior sides. He was a member of the Croatian side at the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship squads.
