Familija (Serbian Cyrillic: Фамилија; trans. Family) was a Serbian rock supergroup from Belgrade, consisting of Vampiri, Košava and U Škripcu members. The band's musical style was a combination of ska, pop, ethnic and rock music.

The band was founded in late 1993 by U Škripcu members Aleksandar "Vasa" Vasiljević (guitar) Aleksandar "Luka" Lukić (bass) and Ratko Ljubičić (drums) along with former Vampiri members Dejan "Peja" Pejović (vocals), Dejan "Dexy" Petrović (vocals) and drummer/percussionist Goran "Gedža" Redžepi.

In February 1994 the band began recording their debut album, Narodno pozorište (People's Theatre), released by PGP-RTS later during the year. Pejović, Vasiljević, Lukić and Petrović wrote all the songs, featuring various musical styles combined with pop rock sound. The album featured the hits "Baltazar" (whose chorus referred to Professor Balthazar theme song), "Mala, mala", "Što ja volim taj seks" and "Nije mi ništa". The track "Trajna Nina" featured lyrics from the Beatles track "Yellow Submarine". The record was produced by Đorđe Petrović who also played keyboards. Vinyl LP and compact cassette editions sleeves were designed by Saša "Madoženja" Marković, while the CD edition featured sleeve art by Branko Lukić. The band also appeared in Srđan Dragojević's movie Dva sata kvalitetnog TV programa as one of the performers at the New Year’s Eve party.
