Bogdana Koljević Griffith, formerly known as Bogdana Koljević and also known in Serbian as Bogdana Koljević Grifit (Serbian Cyrillic: Богдана Кољевић Грифит; born 15 February 1979), is a Serbian political philosopher, editor, and politician. She has been a member of the Serbian parliament since February 2024, originally as a member of the We – Voice from the People (MI–GIN) political movement, later with the breakaway We – Power of the People (MI–SN) movement, and still later as an independent delegate. She has also been a member of the Senate of Republika Srpska, an advisory body, since January 2017.
Koljević Griffith is the daughter of Nikola Koljević, who was a vice-president of the Republika Srpska from 1992 to 1996 (i.e., for most of the period of the Bosnian War and into the transitional period after the signing of the Dayton Agreement). She is a supporter of her father's political legacy, citing him as one of the first politicians in the Republika Srpska to recognize that Dayton would be beneficial for the entity, providing it with international legitimacy and the means of developing its identity and autonomy.
