Milan Rakic (Serbian Cyrillic: ????? ?????; 18 September 1876 – 30 June 1938) was a Serbian poet-diplomat.He focused on dodecasyllable and hendecasyllable verse, which allowed him to achieve beautiful rhythm and rhyme in his poems.
He was quite a perfectionist and therefore only published two collections of poems (1903, 1912).
He wrote largely about death and non-existence, keeping the tone sceptical and ironic.
Two of his most well-known poems are An Honest Song (Iskrena pesma), A Desperate Song (Ocajna pesma), Jefimija, Simonida and At Gazi-Mestan (Na Gazi-Mestanu).
He was a member of the Serbian Royal Academy (1934).
