Filip Mladenović (Serbian: Филип Mлaдeнoвић; born 15 August 1991) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a left back for Standard Liège. Mladenović made his debut for the Serbian national team in 2012.

He became a member of the Borac senior team in the 2010–11 season, making 18 league appearances that season. He played as left-back.

Mladenović signed a four-year contract for Red Star Belgrade on December 17, 2011. During the summer of 2013, Red Star participated in the Uhrencup in Switzerland, where they lost the final against FC Basel with a score of 2-1. Mladenović scored for Red Star and was voted best player of the game, for which he was supposed to get a watch as a prize, but he rejected it out of disappointment with the loss. By the end of 2013, Red Star's financial situation became very unstable as players and staff were not getting paid after several months of waiting. In spite of his frequent scoring and lanky frame, Mladenović was played mostly as a left back under coach Ricardo Sá Pinto, who said that Mladenović's playing style reminded him of Fábio Coentrão. An exodus began when Sá Pinto announced in an emotional press conference when he said that he could no longer work at Red Star due to instabilities in the team's administration. On October 5, 2013, Mladenović filed a request to have his contract terminated with Red Star. The Arbitration Committee in the FSS ruled in Mladenović's favor on November 23, giving him the status of a free agent. After the ruling on Mladenović and Marko Vešović, coach Slaviša Stojanovič took both players off of the first team, but legally were still members of Red Star until the winter 2013-14 transfer window.
