The Bosniak National Council (Bosnian: Bošnjačko nacionalno vijeće; Serbian: Бошњачко национално вијеће) is a representative body of the Bosniak ethnic minority in Serbia, established for the protection of the rights and the minority self-government of Bosniaks in Serbia.

The Bosniak National Council has 35 seats, and its representatives are elected concurrently with the elections for the national councils of recognized national minorities in Serbia. The last election was held in 2022. On this occasion, electoral slates affiliated with the Justice and Reconciliation Party and the Social Democratic Party of Serbia (the latter in conjunction with its regional affiliate the Sandžak Democratic Party) each won twelve seats, while a slate affiliated with the Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak won ten.
