Elvir Melunović (born 17 July 1979 in SR Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Swiss former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He preferred to play as a left midfielder in 4-4-2 and was a left-footed player.

Melunović played in Servette as they won in the Swiss Super League in 1999 and in Grasshoppers when they won in 2003. However, he did not manage to be part of the starting lineup in Grasshoppers. He played in the 2002 European U21 Championship as part of the "Titans" generation, where the Swiss U21 team achieved their best results up to that point by making it to the semi-finals. He was supposed to sign with a club from the French league, but this did not materialise. His contract extension with Young Boys was then terminated, and his career in professional football ended in 2007, participating afterwards as a player-coach. His first cup final was with Suhr in 2012 against Windisch in the Aargau Cup.
