Čokolada (Serbian for chocolate) is the second studio album by Yugoslav new wave band Idoli, released in 1983. It is considered to be one of the best selling Yugoslav records, and was ranked #46 on the list of Greatest Yugoslav Rock and Pop Music Albums.

Having finished the tour in support of Odbrana i poslednji dani album, the band started working on new material. Since Jugoton was unsatisfied with the sales of Odbrana i poslednji dani, the band had to take on a more commercial sound. In the meantime, bass guitarist Zdenko Kolar left to serve in the Yugoslav People's Army and was temporarily replaced by Branko Isaković.

The band went to London and worked with producer Bob Painter who completely changed their style. The result was Čokolada. Originally planned to be released as a double EP entitled U gradu bez sna, at Jugoton's insistence it was released as a long-playing record. The album turned out to be the greatest commercial success the band had ever achieved. It sold roughly 350,000 copies which, with the Riblja Čorba album Mrtva priroda, made it one of the best-selling albums in Yugoslavia. The record was later overtaken by Plavi Orkestar and Bajaga i Instruktori.

The album cover featured the girl from wrappers on "Seka" chocolates manufactured by Zvečevo from Slavonska Požega. The album design was by the band members themselves with the help of Vladimir Galić and the photographs were by Goranka Matić.
