Zoran Živković (Serbian Cyrillic: Зоран Живковић, pronounced [zɔ̌.ran ʒǐːʋ.kɔ.ʋitɕ]; born 22 December 1960) is a Serbian politician who served as the prime minister of Serbia from 2003 to 2004 and as the mayor of Niš from 1997 to 2000.
He played a significant role during the protests and the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević. After the assassination of Zoran Đinđić, he headed the government of Serbia for a year. His reign was marked by a state of emergency period and the Operation Sabre, an action aimed at finding those responsible for political assassinations and combating organized crime. Živković later formed the liberal New Party and served as its president until his resignation in 2020. After that, he became executive director of the Center for development of civil society MilenijuM.
