Zdenka Vučković (June 20 Zagreb, 1942 - 7 March 2020) was a Croatian popular music singer with a career spanning 60 years. Her popularity peaked during 1960s, when she was a teen pop star. She is best remembered for the songs Moja mala djevojčica ["My Little Girl"], best known by the line Tata, kupi mi auto ["Daddy, Buy Me a Car"] and Zagreb, Zagreb, which became an unofficial anthem of the Croatian capital.[1][2] Her voice is made familiar by the song Zeko i potočić ["Bunny and the Stream"].

She announced the end of her career with the song Odrasla je djevojčica mala [The Little Girl has Grown Up] performed at the 1989 Zagreb Festival.[3] However, in 1991 she performed the song "To Love Somebody" (a song by the Bee Gees in Croatian) in duet with Severina. In 2010 she performed the song "Veslaj" ["Row!"] with Luka Nizetic at the Split Festival.[2] [4][5]

In 1971 she married composer Krešimir Oblak.[4]
