Savo Milošević (Serbian Cyrillic: Саво Милошевић, Serbian pronunciation: [sǎʋo milǒːʃeʋit͡ɕ]; born 2 September 1973) is a retired Serbian footballer who played as a striker.

After making a name for himself at Partizan, he signed for Aston Villa, and went on to spend the vast majority of the following decade playing in Spain, where he represented four clubs, amassing La Liga totals of 241 games and 91 goals and netting nearly 300 official goals over a 16-year professional career.

At the international level, Milošević played for the national team of FR Yugoslavia (later renamed Serbia and Montenegro), and Serbia, surpassing the century of caps for both teams combined and appearing in two World Cups and one European Championship, at which he earned the Golden Boot at Euro 2000.

Born in Bijeljina, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Milošević started playing football at the age of 6 and spent his youth in the Drina Valley, until he was 14 and was spotted by FK Partizan scouts, being transferred for 5,000 Deutsche Mark.
