Milovan Marinković (Serbian Cyrillic: Милован Маринковић); was a politician in the Kingdom of Serbia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He served three terms as mayor of Belgrade between 1891 and 1902.^[2][3][4]

On 15 April 1881, the board of the municipality of Belgrade decided to hold elections for the president of the municipality on 5 May, as the previous president, Nikola Pašić, had vacated the position after becoming the president of the Council of Ministers of Serbia.^[5] The elections for the president of the Belgrade municipality were called for 19 May 1891. Milovan Marinković, a director and professor from Belgrade, was elected as the mayor of the municipality after receiving 91.7 % of the votes (785 votes) while his opponent, Dragutin Ilić received only 8.3% of the votes (71 votes). On 23 May 1891 Marinković's election as mayor was confirmed by the municipal court of the city of Belgrade.^[6] Marinković, took the oath and assumed his duties at an extraordinary session of the Belgrade board on 23 May 1891.^[7]

On 14 October 1892, under the leadership of Mayor Marinković, Belgrade inaugurated its first tram line, which ran from Kalemegdan to Slavija and was horse-powered. Marinković, accompanied by members of his administration, was among the first passengers on this historic journey. The tram set off at 11:00 AM, making its way toward Terazije Square, where thousands of citizens had gathered to witness the event.^[8]
