Radivoje Milojković (Serbian Cyrillic: Радивоје Милојковић; 9 January 1833 – 16 December 1888) was a Serbian politician. In the aftermath of Prince Mihailo's assassination in 1868, he served as Interior Minister under several Liberal governments of the 1870s and 1880s, as well as Prime Minister during the regency of Jovan Ristić, Milivoje Blaznavac and Jovan Gavrilović from 1869 to 1872. During this time, he was a close ally of Jovan Ristić.
Milojković's time as Interior Minister set the foundations of police work in Serbia. He was considered a highly effective if authoritarian minister who persecuted both supporters of the ousted Karađorđević dynasty, as well as early socialists and supporters of Svetozar Marković.
