Rale Mićić (Cyrillic:Рале Mићић), born October 9, 1975 in Belgrade, Serbia) is a Serbian jazz guitarist and composer.
Micic moved to United States in 1995 after receiving a scholarship from the Berklee College of Music, where he studied with George Garzone, John Thomas, and Bob Brookmeyer. It was also by that time that Mick Goodrick, became his mentor.
In 2000, Micic moved to New York City. His debut album, Bridges (CTA, 2003), mixed jazz with Balkan music. His second album, Serbia, featured jazz trumpeter Tom Harrell, and according to All About Jazz, established Micic as one of the most inventive voices on the music scene today.
