Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu (trans. What Would you Give to be in My Place) is the second studio album from influential former Yugoslav rock band Bijelo dugme, released in 1975. The album is a continuation of the band's early folkish hard rock sound that was featured on their debut album Kad bi' bio bijelo dugme, again incorporating folk music elements blended with blues. Although the album was recorded in London, the songs were written during August, September, and October 1975 in the Bosnian village of Borike (near Rogatica), renowned for its breeding of Arabian horses. The album is perhaps most memorable for its songs "Ne gledaj me tako i ne ljubi me više", "Požurite konji moji", title track "Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu", all tracks exceeding 6 minutes, and all-time hit "Tako ti je mala moja kad ljubi Bosanac".
