Dragan Maksimović (7 February 1949 - 4 February 2001), nicknamed Maks, was a Serbian actor. He was born in Podujevo.

Dragan performed in more than sixty theatrical plays, movies and TV productions, between 1971 and 1999. His debut was in National Theatre in Belgrade playing Soldier in play "Mother courage and her Children", 1971.

On 17 November, 2000, Maksimović was brutally attacked in Zeleni Venac, in day-time, by a group of FK Rad supporters (after their team lost a match against Obilić), who assumed he was Romani. He died on 4 February 2001 in the hospital. On the initiative by film director Goran Marković, a commemorative plaque was placed at Zeleni Venac on 18 November 2006. The perpetrators remain at large.
