Maja Gojković (Serbian Cyrillic: Маја Гојковић; born May 22, 1963 in Novi Sad) is a Serbian politician and current President of the National Assembly of Serbia.
She previously served as Mayor of the city of Novi Sad, capital of the autonomous province of Vojvodina, in Serbia and a councillor in the Parliament of Novi Sad as a representative of the People's Party, previously also known as the "Grupa građana - Maja Gojković". She was one of the leaders of the United Regions of Serbia.
For having supporting a coalition with Boris Tadić and his Democratic Party independently of the People's Party, she and other such members were expelled from the URS.
The party is now defunct and she is a member of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party.
She attended Branko Radičević elementary school and the Gymnasium Jovan Jovanović Zmaj. After getting her degree from the Novi Sad Law School in 1987, she passed the bar exam in 1989. A year later she started working in her family's law firm "Gojković".
Gojković is one of the founders of Serbian Radical Party, first holding the position of secretary general, then vice president of executive council and finally she was vice president of the party. She was Vojislav Šešelj's legal adviser before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. However, she left the party in 2006 after disagreement with party leadership.
