Mladen Bratić (Serbian: Младен Братић) was a Serbian war commander with the rank of major general in the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA).
Bratić was killed in the Battle of Vukovar when his tank was hit by a Croatian National Guard shell, but the JNA's advantage in artillery and rockets enabled it to halt the Croatian advance and inflict heavy casualties. The battle ended up resulting in a Yugoslav/Serbian Pyrrhic victory.
