Dragan Tarlać (born May 9 1973 in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian basketball player.

After starting his senior pro career with hometown KK Vojvodina, he transferred to KK Crvena Zvezda (Red Star) Belgrade. He stayed there for a season, which was enough for Olympiakos to notice his talent and offer him a move to Piraeus. It was there that Tarlac mada a name for himself, earning a call up to Yugoslavia / Serbia-Montenegro national squad.

For a while there was a contoversy over his national team status because he took Greek citizenship like many other Balkan players in the 1990s. The issue was finally straightened out and he was allowed to compete for Yugoslavia at Eurobasket 1999 in France, along with Predrag Stojakovic and Milan Gurovic who were in the same situation.

Tarlac left Greece in the summer of 2000 and took off for the United States to play for Chicago Bulls. His career in the NBA was not particularly successful and he returned to Europe the following offseason after winning Eurobasket 2001 with Yugoslavia. Next two seasons were spent with Real Madrid before finishing up his career with CSKA Moscow.
