Slobodan Aligrudić (Serbian Cyrillic: Слободан Алигрудић) (b. October 15th, 1934 in Bitola, Vardar Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, present-day Macedonia, d. August 13th, 1985 in Belgrade) is a Serbian actor known for some of the most memorable roles in the history of former Yugoslav cinema.

He earned fame as one of the actors in of Atelje 212 theatre in Belgrade, but he is best known for starring in many films. Some of those roles belonged to the classic films of former Yugoslav cinema, including . Most of his roles were authority figures, but he always managed to give them humanity. One of the best examples is Maho, father character in Emir Kusturica's 1981 coming-of-age drama Do You Remember Dolly Bell?.

Aligrudić worked with Kusturica again in his 1985 celebrated drama When Father Was Away on Business, in which he had played UDBA agent in charge of protagonist's "re-education". He died shortly after that film won Golden Palm on Cannes Film Festival and shortly after death of his long-time colleague Zoran Radmilović. This event led many former Yugoslav film critics to say that "heaven had received huge boost".
