Milenko Stojković (Serbian Cyrillic: Миленко Стојковић; 1769 – 1831) was a Serbian revolutionary and bimbaša in the First Serbian Uprising early in the 19th century. He is most famous for executing four Dahije (renegade Janissaries) tyrants during the start of the First Serbian Uprising, in vengeance for the "Slaughter of the Knezes".
