Nina Petković (Cyrillic: Нина Петковић; born April 10, 1981, in Kotor, SR Montenegro, Yugoslavia) is a Montenegrin singer, musician and television personality. She came to media prominence in regional Star Academy version, Operacija trijumf, and came fourth. On June 7, 2009, Petković won music festival Pjesma Mediterana with the song "S druge strane sna".

Although born in Kotor, Petković was mostly raised in neighboring town Tivat. She is of mixed religious origin – her father is a Roman Catholic and mother Orthodox Christian. Before she participated in Operacija trijumf, Petković took part in many festivals, such as Evropesma and Montevizija., sometimes solo, sometimes with her band Dan Poslije.

The Operacija trijumf, Balkan version of Endemol's Fame Academy, started broadcasting on September 29, 2008. Nina Petković was the only contestant from Montenegro, so she was constantly receiving a lot of cell-phone votes from Montenegro. She reached the finals, but was expelled in the first final round.

Petković was performing with many popular artists during the Operacija trijumf, such as Željko Joksimović, Jelena Tomašević, Jelena Rozga, Karolina Gočeva and Negative.
