Radosav Petrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Радосав Петровић; born 8 March 1989) is a Serbian footballer who plays for Portuguese club Rio Ave on loan from Sporting CP as a defensive midfielder. He represented Serbia at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Petrović began playing football at his hometown club Jedinstvo Ub (where he gained the nickname Raća) and he played there for all youth ranks of the club, before making his senior debut during the 2006–07 season. After only a year of senior football for Jedinstvo, he moved to Radnički Obrenovac.
On 20 June 2008, Petrović completed a move to Partizan from Radnički Obrenovac. He signed a five-year contract and was given the number 20 shirt for Partizan. Petrović made his official debut for the club in a UEFA Champions League qualifier against Inter Baku on 6 August 2008, a game which Partizan won 2–0. On 21 May 2009, he scored his first goal for Partizan in a 3–0 Serbian Cup final match win over Sevojno. He also scored against Čukarički Stankom in the final Serbian SuperLiga game of the season.
After the departure of Juca to Deportivo La Coruña, Petrović was given the number 8 shirt. He featured in total of 24 league matches and scored 7 goals in Partizan's title-winning campaign. His most notable moment of the season was a fantastic goal for a 1–0 win against cross-town rivals Crvena zvezda. He was also named in the 2009–10 Serbian SuperLiga Team of the Year.
