Zdravko-Ćiro Kovačić (6 July 1925, Šibenik, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – 1 April 2015, Rijeka, Croatia) was a Croat water polo player who competed for Yugoslavia in the 1948 Summer Olympics, in the 1952 Summer Olympics, and in the 1956 Summer Olympics.
Kovačič was born in Šibenik in 1925, but moved to Sušak the next year and therefore considered himself a native of Rijeka.
Kovačić was part of the Yugoslav team which was eliminated in the second round of the 1948 Olympic tournament. He played one match as goalkeeper.
Four years later he won the silver medal with the Yugoslav team in the 1952 tournament. He played all nine matches as goalkeeper.
In 1956 he was a member of the Yugoslav team which won the silver medal in the Olympic competition again. He played all seven matches as goalkeeper.
