Wolves of Vučjak ( Serbian: Вукови с Вучјака, romanized: Vukovi s Vučjaka) was a paramilitary unit active in the Croatian War of Independence and the Bosnian War. It was established in Prnjavor, Bosnia and Herzegovina. ^[1]

They were active in fighting in Okučani, Jasenovac and Novska. ^[1] In August, 1991 the unit took over the transmitter on Kozara, and replaced RTV Sarajevo with Serb programming. ^[2] Its leader Veljko Milanković was badly wounded on February 4, 1993 and later died at the Medical Academy on February 14.

A witness testified to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia during Serbian leader Slobodan Milošević's trial that the Wolves were trained in Knin by Dragan Vasiljković, "Captain Dragan". ^[3]

In 2007, it was announced that the paramilitary's commander Veljko Milanković would have a street named after him in Novi Sad. ^[4] Non-governmental groups protested the decision. ^{[5] [6]}
