Zoran Lazarovski (Macedonian: Зоран Лазаровски; born December 26, 1980) is a Macedonian former swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events.^[1] He is a two-time Olympian (2000 and 2004), and a former Macedonian record holder in the 200 m butterfly.

Lazarovski made his first Macedonian team at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the men's 200 m butterfly. Swimming in heat two, he edged out Hong Kong's Mark Kwok to claim a second spot and twenty-ninth overall by 0.69 of a second in 2:01.30.^[2]^[3]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Lazarovski qualified again for the 200 m butterfly, by posting a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:03.69 from the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain.^[4]^[5] He challenged seven other swimmers on the same heat as Sydney, including Olympic veteran Vladan Marković of Serbia and Montenegro. He raced to fourth place by 0.11 of a second behind Bulgaria's Georgi Palazov in 2:02.26. Lazarovski failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed twenty-seventh overall in the preliminaries.^[6]^[7]
