Wolves of Vučjak ({{langx|sr|Вукови с Вучјака|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.[http://www.slobodnadalmacija.hr/Crna-kronika/tabid/70/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/33069/Default.aspx Ubojica četničkog vojvode: Da nisam pobjegao, kožu bi mi oderali]

They were active in fighting in Okučani, Jasenovac and Novska. In August, 1991 the unit took over the transmitter on Kozara, and replaced RTV Sarajevo with Serb programming.[https://www.un.org/icty/bhs/cases/stakic/stak_cis.htm Podaci o predmetu Stakic (IT-97-24)] 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".[http://www.slobodan-milosevic.org/documents/trial/2003-07-16.html Milosevic Transcript]
