Beogradski sindikat (Serbian Cyrillic: Београдски Синдикат, English: Belgrade Syndicate) is a popular eleven-member hip-hop collective from Belgrade, Serbia.

The group has released two albums: BSSST...Tišinčina (Shhh...Silence) in early 2002 and Svi zajedno (All Together) in 2005, as well as the single Govedina (Beef) (September 2002), a controversial broadside against the entire Serbian political scene. A similar single, Oni su (They are), was released in December 2006, in the run up to a Serbian parliamentary election in January 2007. One member of the group, Škabo (Shkabo), has released a solo album, Sam (Alone).

The group was formed on March 21, 1999, with the merging of Red Zmaja and TUMZ together with rappers MC Flex and Chef Sale. A new member, Prota, joined in 2004, followed by DJ IRon in 2006.
