Božidar "Cikota" Stanišić (21 October 1936 – 3 January 2014) was a water polo player from Montenegro. He was part of the Yugoslav teams that won a silver medal at the 1964 Olympics and placed fourth in 1960. He won another silver medal at the 1958 European Championships.[1][2]
Stanišić learned to swim aged 14. Two years later started playing water polo for PKV Jadran and won with them the national title in 1958 and 1959; he later played for VK Bijela and coached both teams. Stanišić was a lawyer by profession. He was voted the Montenegrin Athlete of the Year a record four times, in 1959, 1961, 1963 and 1965.[1]
