The Yugoslav Olympic Committee (Croatian: Jugoslavenski olimpijski komitet, Template:Lang-sr / Jugoslovenski olimpijski komitet; Template:Lang-sl; Macedonian: Југословенски олимписки комитет, romanizedJugoslovenski olimpiski komitet) was the non-profit organization representing Yugoslav athletes in the International Olympic Committee. The YOC organized Yugoslavia's representatives at the Summer and Winter Olympic Games.

It was established in Zagreb in 1919 (recognized by the IOC in 1920) as Jugoslavenski olimpijski odbor, before moving to Belgrade in 1927, and it took the place of the Serbian Olympic Committee in the Association of National Olympic Committees. During the dissolution of Yugoslavia, several new committees were formed.
