Serbia Against Violence ({{langx|sr|Србија против насиља|Srbija protiv nasilja}}, SPN) was a political coalition of opposition political parties in Serbia. Formalised in October 2023, SPN took part in the parliamentary, Vojvodina provincial, Belgrade City Assembly elections and elections for city assemblies in other cities, all of which were held on 17 December 2023.
The SPN was formed out of the Serbia Against Violence protests that began after the Belgrade elementary school and Mladenovac and Smederevo mass shootings in May 2023. The cooperation between the parties organising the protests increased during the protests, leading them to create a coalition. Marinika Tepić and Miroslav Aleksić were the representatives for the parliamentary election, while Vladimir Obradović and Dobrica Veselinović were the representatives for the Belgrade City Assembly election. In the parliamentary election, SPN won 65 seats in the National Assembly of Serbia and 43 seats in the City Assembly of Belgrade. In the Assembly of Vojvodina, SPN won 31 seats. The coalition ceased to exist in April 2024 due to a dispute over whether to participate in the 2024 Belgrade City Assembly election. The group that took part in the election was named We Choose Belgrade.
SPN was a pro-European coalition that was opposed to the ruling Serbian Progressive Party. Its representatives declared support for anti-corruption and environmental measures, increased pensions and salaries, investments in education, health care, and public transport, and introducing progressive taxation.
