Visa requirements for Serbian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of the Republic of Serbia.
As of February 2026, Serbian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 135 countries and territories, ranking the Serbian passport 30th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index. Serbia is one of a handful of countries whose citizens may travel visa-free to the Schengen Area, China and Russia.
Until the 1990s, the Yugoslav passport has been described as highly sought-after commodity. As part of its non-aligned policies, the Yugoslav government signed numerous mutual agreements on visa-free entry from the mid-1960s.
Eventually this applied to most states of the world, promoting the Yugoslav passport to "one of the most convenient in the world, as it was one of the few with which a person could travel freely through both the East and West" during the Cold War.
With the subsequent dissolution of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, the period of difficulties related to travel bureaucracy started for all successor states. From the 2000s onward, the situation has been significantly and constantly improving and Serbian passport was among the five passports with the most improved rating in the Henley Passport Index since 2006, adding 103 countries to its visa-free list.

Serbia proposed inclusion in the United States Visa Waiver Program in 2009, but as of 2024, the adjusted visa refusal rate remains above the required 3% threshold. The United Kingdom initially discussed visa abolition in 2011, but in 2013, the UK Home Office stated it had no plans to remove visa requirements for Serbian citizens.

Discussions on visa liberalization with Canada began in 2016.
