The Greens of Serbia (Serbian: Зелени Србије, romanizedZeleni Srbije, abbr. Zeleni) is a green political party in Serbia. Established on 14 September 2007, Zeleni advocates environmental and ecological wisdom, social justice and solidarity, direct democracy, green economics, sustainability, respect for diversity and human rights, and prevention of all forms of violence. Zeleni had observer status in the Global Greens and was an applicant for the European Green Party.

In early 2014 the Zeleni had signed political cooperation with the New Democratic Party, a political fraction of the Democratic Party led by its former leader and the nation's president Boris Tadić. Originally agreeing to form a political cooperation and jointly go at the forthcoming 2014 elections, by mid-February 2014 the NDS had collectively joined the Greens, who chose a new Statute, program and Tadić as their party leader, officially preregistering under the name New Democratic Party–Greens. On 14 June 2014, the New Democratic Party seceded and became independent political party, so the name of the party was changed again to "Greens of Serbia". Since 2016, it has allied itself with the Socialist Party of Serbia and United Serbia.
