Miloš Glišić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милош Глишић; 27 February 1910 – 17 July 1946) was Yugoslav military officer.

Glišić graduated at Military Academy in Belgrade in 1933 and since 1940 worked in General Staff. On 27 March 1941 he was one of pro-Western Serb military officers who conducted coup d'état and annulled Yugoslav military alliance with Axis powers. After Axis invasion of Yugoslavia he joined Chetniks of Draža Mihailović and participated in the uprising against German occupying forces. In October 1941, one of his actions against German troops in which he participated together with Partisans resulted in German reprisals known as Kragujevac massacre. At the end of 1941 he became a commander of the Požega Chetnik Detachment.

At the beginning of 1942 he became commander of the Sandžak Military Chetnik Detachment with its command in Nova Varoš and accepted to be legalized by the Government of National Salvation. In August 1942 Glišić was arrested, imprisoned and tortured by Gestapo because he sabotaged German attempts to disarm his unit and intensified his communication with Mihailović. In October 1942 he was taken to Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp where he was until the end of World War II. In 1946 he was captured by OZNA and put on trial together with Mihailović, other prominent figures from Chetnik Movement and Nedić's regime. In July 1947 nine of them, including Glišić, were found guilty for collaboration with Axis and war crimes and executed on unknown location in Belgrade.
