Siniša Mihajlović (Serbian Cyrillic: Синиша Михајловић; pronounced [sǐniʃa mixǎjloʋit͡ɕ], born 20 February 1969) is a Serbian former professional footballer, who played as a defender or midfielder, and the current manager of Italian club Torino.

He has 63 caps and scored 10 goals for Yugoslavia from 1991 to 2003, of which his first four caps in 1991 represented SFR Yugoslavia, and played in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000 tournaments. Considered by many to be among the best free kick takers of all time, he co-holds the all-time record in Serie A for most goals from free-kicks, alongside Andrea Pirlo, with 28 goals.

He was the coach of the Serbian national football team from May 2012 to November 2013, and holds an Italian passport.

Mihajlović was born in Vukovar, SR Croatia, near the border of SR Serbia. He was raised in Borovo Naselje, into a working-class family of a Serb father from Bosnia, and a Croat mother. He himself identifies as Serb, but has said that he views Croatia as his country as well. His father Bogdan (d. 2011) was a truck driver, while his mother Viktorija was a shoe factory worker. He has a younger brother, Dražen (b. 1973).
