Marinika Tepić (née Čobanu; born 8 August 1974) is a Serbian politician. She is a vice-president of the Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP) and a prominent opponent of Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić and the governing Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
Tepić was secretary for sports and youth in the government of Vojvodina from 2012 to 2016 and has served several terms in the National Assembly of Serbia. Prior to joining the SSP on its formation in 2019, she was at different times a member of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV) and the New Party (Nova). She is now the leader of the SSP group in the national assembly.
She has frequently accused Aleksandar Vučić of undermining Serbia's democratic institutions and of stealing elections to remain in power.
