Milan Purović (Serbian Cyrillic: Милан Пуровић; born May 7, 1985 in Titograd, Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia) is a professional Montenegrin football player that is currently a member of Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Purović was one of Red Star's most prominent strikers in recent years, forming the team's offense alongside Nikola Žigić. Both play as towering strikers, standing at 193 and 202 cm respectively, causing Red Star to modify its playing style, with a more direct aerial approach.

Purović is a member of the Montenegro national football team and made his debut against Hungary, during his country's first international match as an independent country.

He attracted interest from several clubs outside Serbia and signed for Sporting C.P. in 2007.
