Damir Markota (Omerhodžić), known as Šveđo, (born December 26 1985, in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) is a Croatian/Swedish professional basketball player. He was chosen by the San Antonio Spurs in the second round of the 2006 NBA Draft, 59th overall, then immediately traded to the Milwaukee Bucks. During the summer of 2006, the Bucks signed Markota to a multi-year contract after the Spurs trade his draft rights for the higher of the Bucks' two 2007 NBA Draft second-round picks. In September 2007 he signed with Russian team Spartak St. Petersburg.

Damir escaped from Bosnia during the war and settled in Sweden, where he began to practice basketball. He played together with Maciej Lampe in Stockholm, until moving to Croatia when he was 14, after being invited to play for the Croatian League. Signed with "KK Cibona", but was loaned to "Zabok" and "Karlovac Šanac" until season 2003/04. He has received Croatian citizenship (holds Swedish citizenship as well), declining an offer to play for the Swedish national team.

Damir Omerhodžić was known as a party animal with a bad attitude when he entered the 2004 NBA Draft, but later withdrew his name from consideration. In the next two years, he worked hard to repair his image, which resulted in an invitation to the Croatian national team. In addition to that, he changed his last name to "Markota" (his mother's maiden name) in 2004.

In February 2007, the Bucks assigned Markota to Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League, in order to further improve his play. On September 7, 2007 Markota was waived by the Bucks and signed with Russian team Spartak St. Petersburg, his current team, on a two year contract two days later. His style of play has been compared to Vladimir Radmanovic.
