Bjesovi (Serbian Cyrillic: Бјесови; trans. The Demons) are a Serbian alternative rock band formed in Gornji Milanovac in 1989. The band was one of the most notable acts of the 1990s Serbian rock scene.

Formed in 1989 by vocalists and songwriters Zoran Marinković and Goran Marić under the name Baader-Meinhof, the band started working under the name Bjesovi in 1990 and released their debut album U osvit zadnjeg dana in 1991. In 1994 the band released critically highly acclaimed untitled album, featuring heavy sound and dark introspective lyrics. After the album Sve što vidim i sve što znam, released in 1997 and dealing with religious themes, the band ended their activity. In 2000 Marinković reformed the band. Their 2009 album Bolje ti brought them larger attention by the mainstream audience, but the band maintained their artistic orientation with the 2015 cover album Svetla svetlosti. The group disbanded for the second time in 2023, solely to regroup in 2024.
