Milomir Miljanić (Serbian Cyrillic: Миломир Миљанић; born 14 June 1963), nicknamed Miljan (Миљан), is a Montenegrin folk singer. Initially a guslar (gusle player, bard), he was the national champion five times before turning to singing in 2005. He is known for his traditional folk songs, which are mainly on patriotic and love themes. His hits include gledaj, orle and Izbeglica.
