Srđan Baljak (Serbian Cyrillic: Срђан Баљак; born 25 November 1978) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a striker for German club Schott Mainz.
Born in Sremska Mitrovica, Baljak made his senior debuts at Teleoptik, before being promoted to Partizan. He recorded one league appearance with the Crno-beli in the 1999–2000 season. Additionally, Baljak appeared as a substitute in a 0–1 loss to Leeds United in the second leg of the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup first round. He was subsequently sent on a six-month loan to Radnički Kragujevac during the 2000 winter transfer window, eventually failing to make an impact at the club.
In June 2002, Baljak moved abroad for the first time to play for Japanese club Consadole Sapporo. He scored three league goals from 13 appearances until the end of the 2002 campaign.
In the 2003 summer transfer window, Baljak returned to his homeland and rejoined Budućnost Banatski Dvor, after the club won promotion to the First League for the first time in its history. They eventually suffered relegation from the top flight in their debut season. Likewise, the club simultaneously reached the Serbia and Montenegro Cup final, thus securing a spot in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup.
