Goran Rubil (born 9 March 1981, in Slavonski Brod, SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Croatian football midfielder who last played for Asteras Tripolis in Greek Super League.

Rubil started his career in his hometown club NK Marsonia Slavonski Brod. At the age of 17 he moved to France to play for FC Nantes Atlantique, where he remained until the end of the 2004/2005 season. During his time at Nantes he played only ten league matches for the club, but was a regular in the Croatian U19 and U21 sides. He spent the 2003/04 season on loan with Stade Laval (from Laval, Mayenne) where he had eight appearances and scored one goal.

In mid-2005 he signed for the J League Division 2 team Shonan Bellmare. In early 2006 he moved back to Croatia to join NK Rijeka, where he stayed until the mutual termination of his contract in December of the same year. Several clubs, both in Croatia and abroad showed interest. He went to England on trial for Leeds United, and looked set to sign for them, but apparently got tired of waiting, and returned to Croatia to sign a 3.5 year long contract for Hajduk Split.

In March 2010, Rubil scored one of the most beautiful own goals ever.
