S Vremena Na Vreme (Serbian Cyrillic: С Времена На Време, trans. From Time To Time) is a Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band from Belgrade. S Vremena Na Vreme were one of the pioneers of the Serbian acoustic rock scene, and one of the pioneers in incorporating folk music elements into rock music on the former Yugoslav rock scene.

S Vremena Na Vreme was formed in 1972 by brothers Miomir "Miki" Đukić (guitar, vocals) and Vojislav "Koki" Đukić (guitar, vocals), Asim Sarvan (guitar, vocals), and Ljubomir "Ljuba" Ninković (guitar, vocals). Before the band was formed, the Đukić brothers performed with flutist and keyboardist Branislav "Bane" Zarin in the band Pupoljci (at this time Miomir Đukić wrote the song "Sunčana strana ulice" ("The Sunny Side of the Street"), which was later recorded by S Vremena Na Vreme), and Vojislav Đukić composed songs for Miljenko Žuborski and wrote music for theatre plays, Sarvan was a literature student, and Ninković was a singer-songwriter. The four of them, in Radio Belgrade studio, recorded songs for the then-popular radio show Tip top kabare, and decided to form a band. After the suggestion of their friend, sound engineer Boban Petrović, the band chose the name S Vremena Na Vreme, as they gathered from time to time.

In the beginning, the band mostly wrote music for theatre plays, including Lukrecija Bordžija and Mandragola performed in National Theatre in Belgrade, Beleške jedne Ane performed in RU Đuro Salaj, and Nesumnjivo lice performed in Atelje 212; the Radio Belgrade archive contains more than 100 recordings made by the band. Although they recorded a large number of songs, during the first period of their career the band rarely performed live. However, they performed on the 1974 BOOM Festival, and the live version of their song "Odisej" ("Odysseus") was released on the double live album BOOM Pop Festival Ljubljana '74, and on the 1972 and 1973 concerts organized at Hajdučka česma by the members of Pop Mašina, also appearing on pop music festivals. In both 1973 and 1974 they received the Best Original Music Award at the Festival of Yugoslav Radio held in Ohrid.
