Dimche Sarvanov, also Dimče Mogilčeto, Bulgarian/Macedonian: Димче Сарванов; born: 1879, Mogila, Ottoman Empire (present day Republic of Macedonia), died: Noshpal, Ottoman Empire (present day Republic of Macedonia), January 4, 1908), was a revolutionary and a member of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization (created as Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committees).

Sarvanov was born in Mogila (now in the Republic of Macedonia) in 1879. He joined Georgi Sugarev's group within IMRO, and fought against Ottoman rule in the Bitola and Mariovo districts. During the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising, Sarvanov fought in the Pelister and Prespa districts. After the death of Sugarev, Sarvanov continued fighting "Greek propaganda".

On January 4, 1908 Sarvanov fell into an Ottoman ambush in the village of Noshpal (close to Bitola in present-day Republic of Macedonia), and rather than allowing himself to fall into Turkish hands, committed suicide.

Sarvanov was also known as Dimche Mogilcheto (Димче Могилчето) or Dimche Sarvanov Mogilcheto (Димче Сарванов Могилчето). His first name is also sometimes given as Dimko (Димко).
