Branko Mladenović (Serbian: Бранко Младеновић) was a 14th-century Serb feudal lord in the Lake Ohrid border region (Old Serbia) in 1346 between the Serb lands ruled by Stefan Dušan (Branko nominally recognized Uroš suzerainty) and Albanian lands ruled by Matarango. He succeeded his father, the deputy of Trebinje and Dračevica Vojvoda Mladen, but was later given the title of sebastokrator by the late Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan and held Ohrid. He acquired further lands into Kosovo including the region of Drenica.^[1]

He is the eponymous founder of the Brankovići and was succeeded by his son Vuk Branković while his eldest son, Nikola Radonja Branković, became a priest in Hilandar Monastery after he first was married to Jelena, a sister of Uglješa Mrnjavčević.^[2]^[3]

He died before 1371. His sister Ratislava married Altoman Vojinović.
