Tanasije Dinić (1891, Niš, Kingdom of Serbia – 17 July 1946, Belgrade, Yugoslavia) was a Serbian military officer and later a minister in the collaborationist regime established in occupied Serbia by Nazi Germany, the Government of National Salvation. Dinić held the rank of colonel in the Royal Yugoslav Army before World War II and was a member of the fascist Yugoslav National Movement. Following the invasion of Yugoslavia, he held the post of minister of interior in Milan Nedić's pro-Axis government. Dinić became the minister of social policy and people's health in 1943, and was later captured after the war. He was executed by a firing squad by the Yugoslav authorities on 17 July 1946.
