Branko (Serbian: Бранко; fl. 1355) was a Serbian magnate who served under Emperor Stefan Dušan (r. 1331–55) as sevastokrator. He was the governor of the oblast (province) of Lake Ohrid, and was, according to his title, a relative of the ruling Nemanjić dynasty. Branko's father Mladen had served the Serbian kingdom in Trebinje and the Bay of Kotor. His sister Ratislava married Altoman Vojinović. Branko is the eponymous founder of the Branković noble family.
