Nikola Koljević (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Кољевић; 9 June 1936 – 25 January 1997) was a Bosnian Serb politician, university professor, translator and an essayist, one of the foremost Yugoslavian Shakespeare scholars. In 2016, he was posthumously declared by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia to have been part of a criminal enterprise aimed at expelling Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War.

Koljević served as the Serb Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina alongside Biljana Plavšić and was the Vice President of Republika Srpska during the Yugoslav Wars.
