The Miloradovići (Serbian Cyrillic: Милорадовићи) or Hrabreni (Храбрени), was a noble family and clan, whose members served the Kingdom of Bosnia, Republic of Ragusa, Ottoman Empire, Habsburg Monarchy and Russian Empire, between the 15th to 19th centuries.

Initial historical documents indicate that the Hrabreni were ethnically a katun Vlach clan from Herzegovina, who later embraced Serb ethnic identity, while religiously were Eastern Orthodox, with few early branches converted to Islam.

The progenitor probably was certain Milorad, who as a chieftain of Vlach origin lived in the second half of 14th century. In 1416 is mentioned his son, Stipan, in appeal by Republic of Ragusa due to fighting along Petar Pavlović, a magnate of the Kingdom of Bosnia against Sandalj Hranić and Ottomans in the Lower Neretva near Slivno. He had three sons: Petar Stjepanović is first mentioned in 1473 and last time in 1486, Radoja Stjepanović died between 1475-1477, while Vukić Stjepanović was mentioned for last time in 1496. They had lands between Stolac and Mostar.

Members have been buried at Radimlja near Stolac, which was in their possession. Radimlja was most likely the clan's graveyard. There are epitaphs on five medieval stećci referring to the Miloradović family.
