Rade Šerbedžija (born 27 July 1946 in Bunić near Korenica , Croatia), is a Croatian-born actor and director of ethnic Serb descent. He became internationally famous mainly for his supporting roles in Hollywood films in the 1990s.

His film career has been long both in his home country and elsewhere. In former Yugoslavia, he was a noted theatre actor as well as film and TV series actor.

Šerbedžija had various notable film roles, among others in "U gori raste zelen bor" (1971), "Variola vera" (1981), "Kiklop" (1982). He was also among the leading actors in several TV series, such as in "Prosjaci i sinovi" (1971), "U registraturi" (1976), "Nikola Tesla" (1977).

Šerbedžija emigrated to the United States in the early 1990s during the course of the Yugoslav wars.

He is perhaps most often recognised by world audiences for his supporting roles in Hollywood films such as Mission: Impossible II, The Saint, Snatch and the 2002 adaptation of The Quiet American.

Šerbedžija also has a small role in the upcoming Batman Begins.
