Natalija Obrenović (Serbian Cyrillic: Наталија Обреновић; 15 May 1859 – 8 May 1941), née Keschko (Russian: Наталья Кешко), known as Natalie of Serbia, was the Princess consort of Serbia from 1875 to 1882 and then Queen consort of Serbia from 1882 to 1889, as the wife of Milan I of Serbia. Of ethnic Romanian origin, she was the daughter of Russian colonel Petre Keşco and Romanian noblewoman Pulcheria Sturdza.

A celebrated beauty during her youth, she was later regarded as one of the most beautiful queens in Europe.

She was born in 1859 in Florence, Grand Duchy of Tuscany (now Italy), as the first child of Russian colonel Petre Keşco (1830–1865) of Bessarabia, and Moldavian Princess Pulcheria Sturdza (1831–1874). Her father was the son of Ioan Keșco, a Marshal of Nobility of Bessarabia, and Romanian noblewoman Natalia Balș. Natalie grew up in Dănuţeni, Bessarabia and Iași, United Romania.

She had two sisters and one brother:

After she became orphaned by both parents, she was taken into the care by her maternal aunt, Ecaterina Moruzi.

She married her second cousin, Prince Milan Obrenović IV of Serbia on 17 October 1875. A delegation from Romania, which included members of the Romanian noble families Moruzi and Catargi (to whom Natalia was related), attended her wedding ceremony. She had two sons with him, the future king Alexander, born 1876, whose godfather was Tsar Alexander II of Russia, and his younger brother Sergei (Sergej), who died just a few days after his birth in 1878.
