Branislav Mihajlović (Serbian Cyrillic: Бранислав Михајловић; born 1953) is a Serbian politician who has been a member of the National Assembly since 2016. He led the It's Enough – Restart party (Dosta je bilo, DJB) from April to November 2018 and has served as an independent since November 2018.

He was born into a mining family and holds a doctorate in technical science. Mihajlović worked for 39 years at RTB Bor as a manager overseeing planning and production analysis. He was fired in 2015 after posting critical messages about the company’s ownership on social media, joking that they showed they had nothing in common.

In the 2016 election, Mihajlović was sixth on the DJB list, which won 16 seats. The election was won by the Serbian Progressive Party and its allies, so he sits in the opposition. In the Assembly, he is on the economy, regional development, trade, tourism, and energy committee; the agriculture, forestry, and water management committee; a deputy member of the security services control committee; a deputy member of the culture and information committee; and he participates in Serbia’s delegation to the SEECP Parliamentary Assembly and in friendship groups with Iran and Kazakhstan.

Mihajlović became DJB leader on April 21, 2018, after Saša Radulović resigned, winning without opposition after the other candidate, Tatjana Macura, withdrew. He left DJB’s parliamentary group in November 2018 and planned to form a new group with four former DJB members. Three of these members later resigned from the Assembly, leaving only two, which was not enough for official recognition. He said the resignations were to avoid personal attacks from DJB leadership, and he did not blame them. He was dismissed as DJB leader by a vote of the main board. On March 25, 2019, he joined the Independent MPs Club.
