The Vojnomedicinska akademija (Serbian: Војномедицинска академија; English: Military Medical Academy), often simply called VMA (pronounced weh-mae-ah in Serbian), is a military hospital centre in the Banjica neighbourhood of Belgrade, Serbia. It was founded in 1884. It was moved into a new building in 1980 which is the biggest single hospital edifice in Serbia.

It is a part of the military of Serbia and is generally intended to serve the officers and soldiers, although it is open for civilians as well. It is known for its high standard in medical practice and is generally considered to be the best medical institution in the country.
