Borko Stefanović (born 5 February 1974, born as Borislav Stefanović) is the founder of political party Levica Srbije. Prior to founding Levica Srbije, he was active in the Democratic Party in Serbia, with whom he engaged in a high-profile split in the summer of 2015. He was one of Serbia's representative during the Belgrade-Pristina negotiations. He was the Political Director of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and former Chief of Staff for Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić.

Stefanović was born in Novi Sad, Vojvodina, SFR Yugoslavia in 1974. He graduated from high school in Sremski Karlovci before enrolling in the Novi Sad Law School, where he graduated in 1999. Stefanović played bass guitar in an punk rock band called 'Generacija bez budućnosti' (Generation without a Future), which last performed in in 2011.

Stefanović first became politically involved in 1999, when he joined the Citizens' Alliance (known in Serbian as GSS, the acronym for Građanski savez Srbije), an anti-nationalist party. He left the party in 2001, after which he had no party affiliation for two years.

After the assassination of Zoran Đinđić, Stefanović joined the Democratic Party in Serbia. In an interview with Novi Plamen, Stefanović referred to Đinđić's assassination when discussing on his entry into the Democratic Party, describing it as "my personal response to an uncivilized act."
