Boško Vuksanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Бошко Вуксановић; 4 January 1928 – 4 April 2011) was a Montenegrin water polo player. Born in Kotor in what was then the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, he would eventually compete for the Yugoslavia men's national water polo team. While part of the team, they would win a silver medal at the 1950 European Water Polo Championship and eventually competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics. There, they would win the silver medal, placing behind Hungary.
After the 1952 Summer Games, Vuksanović won a silver medal at the 1954 European Water Polo Championship. He was also included for the Yugoslav roster for the 1956 Summer Olympics but did not start in the event. He eventually coached the team at the 1968 Summer Olympics, where the team placed tenth.
