Serbian heraldry involves the study and use of coats of arms and other heraldic insignia in the country of Serbia or by Serbs. The Serbian government is the armiger in Serbia, exercising that right under the advice of the Serbian Heraldry Society (Serbian Cyrillic: Српско хералдичко друштво, romanizedSrpsko heraldičko društvo), a learned society devoted to the study and creation of heraldry, specifically Serbian heraldry.

Serbian heraldry in large part belongs to the Byzantine tradition. Serbian nobility in the Habsburg monarchy, upon receiving noble status, adopted coat of arms often influenced by the Illyrian Armorials.
