Milan Blagojević (born 24 December 1969 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian retired soccer player.

Milan is of Serbian descent and always aspired to be a professional footballer. He attended Cabramatta High School in the eighties before becoming a professional after stints with Serbian-Australian club Avala now known as Bonnyrigg White Eagles.

During a long and distinguished professional career, Blagojevic made 31 appearances (19 in official FIFA matches) for the Socceroos, 255 National Soccer League appearances as well as playing overseas for Germinal Ekeren (Belgium), SC Heerenveen (Netherlands), Johor FA (Malaysia) and Singapore's Geylang United.

In the 1992 Olympic Games he was part of the Australian Olyroos squad, playing in every game en route to a single goal loss to Ghana in the bronze medal playoff.

After retiring from playing, Blagojevic moved into coaching at Bonnyrigg White Eagles before taking up a position with the Blacktown City Demons for the 2005–2006 New South Wales Premier League season.

Blagojevic is currently the manager at Sydney Olympic Football Club, after taking over from Manny Spanoudakis, who was appointed as the club's technical director. During the 2008 season Blagojevic lead Sydney Olympic to success in the Johnny Warren Cup and lead them to the final of the Tiger Turf Cup.
