Serb Democratic Forum (Croatian: Srpski demokratski forum, Serbian Cyrillic: Српски демократски форум) is an organization of Serbs of Croatia, which in cooperation with national and international organizations and institutions, protects human rights, minority rights, develops and promotes inter-ethnic tolerance and understanding and tries to restore mutual trust and respect.

It is the first Serb non-governmental organization founded in Croatia in the context of the disintegration of Yugoslavia. Forum is a voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit and non-partisan organization.
