Goce Sedloski (Macedonian: Гоце Седлоски; born 10 April 1974) is a Macedonian professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of the North Macedonia national football team and FK Vardar. A prominent central defender during his playing career, he is the first player in the history of the national team to earn 100 caps.

Sedloski's playing career was highlighted by a highly successful tenure at Dinamo Zagreb, where he won three Croatian First Football League titles, three Croatian Cups, and two Super Cups. He also played in the Premier League for Sheffield Wednesday and had stints in Japan, Turkey, and Austria, most notably with SV Mattersburg, where he made over 130 appearances. Internationally, he represented North Macedonia between 1996 and 2010, scoring eight goals and serving as the team's captain for several years.

As a manager, Sedloski has won domestic league titles in two different countries, leading Vardar to consecutive Macedonian First Football League championships in 2016 and 2017, and KF Shkupi to their first-ever title in 2022. He also secured the Latvian Higher League title with Riga FC in 2018. In December 2025, following a successful campaign with Vardar that included winning the 2024–25 Macedonian Football Cup, the Football Federation of Macedonia (FFM) appointed him as the head coach of the national team to succeed Blagoja Milevski. Under a dual-role agreement, he remained in charge of Vardar for the remainder of the 2025–26 season while preparing the national squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification play-offs.
