New Serbia (Serbian: Нова Србија, Nova Srbija) is a moderate nationalist political party in Serbia. It was created in 1997 by a number of dissidents from the Serbian Renewal Movement.

The president of New Serbia is Velimir Ilić, former Minister of Infrastructure in Serbian government from 2007 until 2008. Also, from 2004 until 2007 he was Minister of former Ministry for Capital Investment which was reorganised after 2007 elections.

During the Yugoslav presidential election campaign of 2000 in which Slobodan Milošević would be ousted, New Serbia ran as a component of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia, and won eight seats in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia.

The party fought the 2003 legislative elections in coalition with the Serbian Renewal Movement. The coalition won 7.7% of the popular vote and 22 seats; nine of these were allocated to New Serbia. In turn, the coalition dispatched eight deputies to the Assembly of Serbia and Montenegro.

New Serbia ran on the 2007 elections in a "Populist Coalition" with the Democratic Party of Serbia of Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica. The coalition won 47 seats, 10 of which went to NS, while NS's minor allies Serbian Democratic Renewal Movement and United Serbia got 2 seats each.
