Predrag "Miki" Manojlović (Serbian Cyrillic: Предраг Манојловић) (born April 5, 1950, Belgrade, Yugoslavia, now Serbia) is a Serbian actor famous for his starring roles in some of the most important films of former Yugoslav cinema.

He grew up in family of stage actors. After his screen debut in 1970, he continued to appear in numerous films and TV dramas made in former Yugoslavia, some of which, like the 1975 TV series Grlom u jagode, achieved cult status. He is arguably best known for the role of the father in Emir Kusturica's 1985 film When Father Was Away on Business and as a tragic opportunist in 1995s Underground (also Kusturica). He is known for his versatility which helped him make strong impression both in starring and character roles, as well as dramas and comedies, with his small role in the 1992 hit comedy Mi nismo anđeli being an example of the latter. He played the role of Agostino Tassi in the 1997 film Artemisia.
