Romani people, or Roma, are a recognized ethnic minority in Serbia. According to data from the 2022 census, they are the fourth largest ethnic group in the country, numbering 131,936 and constituting 2% of the total population. However, owing to various factors, the census figure likely underrepresents the actual population.

Another name used for the Romani people is Cigani (Serbian: Цигани, lit. 'Gypsies'), although the term is today considered pejorative and is not officially used in public documents.
