Boris Miletić (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [ˌbôːris ˈmîletit͡ɕ]; born 2 September 1975) is the mayor of Pula, and leader of the Istrian Democratic Assembly (IDS).

Miletić did his undergraduate studies at Faculty of Economics and Tourism "Dr. Mijo Mirković" in Pula in 1999, and would return to get his master's degree in 2002. He has also pursued further education at Cleveland State University as well as the Faculty of Economics in Split and Zagreb.

From 2000-06 Miletić served in various civil service positions in Istria County, including an internship with the Department for the Economy (2000–01) and with the Istrian Development Agency (2001-2006), where he would eventually become CEO.

Miletić was first elected Mayor of Pula in 2006, and would win subsequent elections in 2009 and 2013. He served in the Croatian parliament from 2008-2011 as a member of the IDS.

In 2014, after the expulsion of Damir Kajin from the IDS, Miletić became party leader. In the 2015 parliamentary election, Miletić and party leaders decided to leave the Kukuriku coalition (afterwards known as the Croatia is Growing coalition) and have the party contest the election on its own. The party would go on to win three seats.
