Nemanja "Neno" Gudelj (Serbian Cyrillic: Немања Гудељ; born 16 November 1991) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Chinese Super League side Tianjin TEDA and the Serbian national team. He is the son of former NAC player Nebojša Gudelj and the older brother of Dragiša Gudelj. He holds both the Serbian and the Dutch citizenship.

He signed his first professional contract with NAC Breda in July 2009 but failed to make an official appearance in his debut season despite being named on the bench several times.

In the summer of 2013 Gudelj transferred to AZ Alkmaar for a fee of around €3 million, sold by his father who was manager at NAC, signing a 4-year contract.

He received interest from Portuguese club Porto.

On 6 May 2015, it was announced that Gudelj will join AFC Ajax starting from the 2015–16 season. Along with him, his younger brother Dragiša will move to Ajax youth team and his father Nebojša will become a scout for the club focusing primarily on scouting players from the Balkans and Serbia. On 5 November 2016 Gudelj was removed from the first team selection after stating he couldn't be motivated when not starting.

On 5 January 2017, Ajax announced Gudelj will transfer to Tianjin TEDA on 25 January 2017 for a sum rumoured to be around €5.5 million.

After being capped at the U19 and U21 levels, Gudelj earned his first cap for Serbia on 5 March 2014, in a 2–1 away win over Ireland in a friendly match after coming on as a last minute substitute for Antonio Rukavina. In 2014, Gudelj played for the national team a further four times, playing against Jamaica twice, Panama and Brazil.
