Zlatko Manojlović (Serbian Cyrillic: Златко Манојловић; born 1951), also known internationally as Zed Mitchell, is a Serbian and Yugoslav guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, currently based in Germany.
Manojlović rose to prominence in the late 1960s, when he joined the already established rock band Džentlmeni. After Džentlemni disbanded, he formed the short-lived band Fleš, and in 1972, he formed the progressive rock Dah, which achieved international success with their hit "Shoshana", disbanding in 1976. In 1977, he formed Gordi, initially a progressive rock and hard rock band, which moved to heavy metal with their final two albums.
Simultaneously with leading Dah and Gordi, Manojlović recorded several solo releases. His debut solo release was the 1975 single "Ko te sada ljubi". His 1976 solo single "Jednoj ženi" achieved nationwide success. He released his first solo album Zlatko i njegove gitare in 1980. After the international success of his album Jednoj ženi, he moved to Germany, releasing a number of albums of instrumental music and cooperating with a number of prominent artists. With his wife Izolda Barudžija he started the musical duo Vox, recording two albums. In 2024, he reformed Gordi, the new lineup featuring his son Todor Manojlović.
