Predrag "Miki" Manojlović (Serbian Cyrillic: Предраг "Мики" Манојловић, born April 5, 1950, Belgrade, Serbia, FPR Yugoslavia, now Serbia) is a Serbian actor famous for his starring roles in some of the most important films of former Yugoslav cinema.

He grew up in family of stage actors. After his screen debut in 1970, he continued to appear in numerous films and TV dramas made in former Yugoslavia, some of which, like the 1975 TV series Grlom u jagode where he memorably played Miki Rubiroza, achieved cult status.

He is arguably best known for the role of the father in Emir Kusturica's 1985 film When Father Was Away on Business and as a tragic opportunist in 1995's Underground (also by Kusturica). He is known for his versatility which helped him make strong impression both in starring and character roles, as well as dramas and comedies, with his small role in the 1992 hit comedy Mi nismo anđeli being an example of the latter. He played the role of Agostino Tassi in the 1997 film Artemisia and that of Miki in Irina Palm.

During the NATO bombardments in 1999, Miki said: "Westerners must understand that no one can constraint anybody, that Balkans need to live their own life with their own multiplicity of cultures, religions, languages. They must understand that they should not worsen the situation with their own frustrations and their ideas which do not function, that the more bombs will fall in Yugoslavia, the less safety will be in Europe."
