Milivoje Anđelković (Serbian: Миливоје Анђелковић – Кајафа), better known by his nickname Kajafas, was a Serbian colonel during the early 20th-century. He participated with his unit in the May Coup. During the First Balkan War in 1912, he commanded the Javorski Brigade and during the Second Balkan War, he was the commander of the Osogovo detachment and the Masuric column. From the beginning of World War I until the Great Retreat, he commanded the Danube Division. In 1914, he was the main commander during the defense of Belgrade during the Srem Offensive and at the Battle of Mačkova Kamen. He especially stood out in the pursuit of the enemy after the Battle of Kolubara. After the reorganization of the Royal Serbian Army at Corfu, he was again the commander of the Danube Division but would retire in 1917.
