Radoman Božović (Serbian: Радоман Божовић; born 13 January 1953 in Šipačno village near Nikšić, People's Republic of Montenegro, Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia) is a Serbian politician and former Prime Minister of Serbia.
Božović was born in a village on the banks of Piva River. He completed grades 1-3 of elementary school in Nikšić.

He obtained his master's degree in 1978 and a Ph.D. in 1981 from the University of Belgrade. His thesis, titled "Social Ownership and Economic Relations of Socialist Self-management" and supervised by Ivan Maksimović and Dragutin Šoškić, strongly supports "non-property ownership of social property", circumventing theoretical pitfalls of income-based economy. He returned to Montenegro for some time, working as a professor at the Veljko Vlahović University in Titograd.
In Subotica he entered politics by becoming the Secretary of the Municipal Committee of the Communist League of Subotica. When he joined the Socialist Party of Serbia, Slobodan Milošević predicted a great future for him. In subsequent years he held a number of public offices.
