Mara Djordjević (born Marija Mišović, 31 January 1916, Odobești, Romania – 22 January 2003, Pančevo) was a Serbian singer of traditional songs. Mara Djordjević ranks as one of the best singers of traditional songs from this period. Even more importantly, she first sang on radio until then less known songs from Kosovo. She made famous such, nowadays popular and widely sang songs as Oj, golube, Srce mi boluje, Karanfil se na put sprema, Beli lice prizrenka devojka. These songs were very similar in style to the songs of Macedonia, often characterized by melancholy stated in (unusually) major key. Her style of singing remained traditional. Even though she polished it a bit during her time in Radio Belgrade, it remained basically the same as at the beginning of her career when she was singing the way she learned it from other, non-professional singers. Her singing is characterized by a somewhat high-pitched but also warm soprano. She also retained all the olden-days decorations in songs.
