Arif Heralić (5 May 1922 – 17 June 1971)[1] was a Bosnian Roma metal worker on a blast furnace in Zenica.

[2] As a disabled worker, Heralić died in extreme poverty in 1971.

[1] His picture was taken by Nikola Bibić, a Borba news photographer, in 1954[2] and from the papers he came to feature on a 1,000 Yugoslav dinar banknote issued from 1955 to 1981, re-nominated to ten new dinars since 1965.

He is still (as of 2023) popular as an icon of industrial worker in the former Yugoslavia.
