Milutin Bojic (18 May 1892 - 8 November 1917) was a poet, theatre critic, playwright,and soldier, born in Belgrade and died prematurely in Thessaloniki in 1917. He was 25 when he died.

Milutin Bojic is the most famous of the many Serbian writers, poets and painters to die in World War I. In his brief life he wrote works that reflect two major themes: the Serbs' powerful national pride and their agony during the disasterous war. Even more so than his plays and epics, the war lyrics in "Pesme bola i ponosa" (Poems of Pain and Pride), published in 1917 in Thessaloniki, made him a popular war poet. His personal suffering seemed to embody Serbian history at that juncture of greatness and disaster.
