New Serbia (Serbian: Нова Србија or Nova Srbija) is a national conservative political party in Serbia. It was created in 1997 by a number of dissidents from the Serbian Renewal Movement.

The president of New Serbia is Velimir Ilić, current Minister of Capital Investment in Serbian government.

During the Yugoslav presidential election campaign of 2000 in which Slobodan Milošević would be ousted, New Serbia ran as a component of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia, and won eight seats in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia.

The party fought the 2003 legislative elections in coalition with the Serbian Renewal Movement. The coalition won 7.7% of the popular vote and 22 seats; nine of these were allocated to New Serbia. In turn, the coalition dispatched eight deputies to the Assembly of Serbia and Montenegro.

New Serbia fought the 2007 elections in coalition with the Democratic Party of Serbia. The coalition won 47 seats.
