Golub Babić (Serbian Cyrillic: Голуб Бабић; 7 September 1824 – 19 December 1910) was a Bosnian Serb guerrilla chief and one of the most prominent rebel commanders of the 1875–77 Herzegovina Uprising in the Ottoman Empire's Bosnia Vilayet.

Babić was born on 7 September 1824 in the village of Trubar, near the town of Drvar, at the time part of the Bosnia Eyalet of the Ottoman Empire.

[1] As a youth, he joined hajduk bands (guerilla fighters, anti-Ottoman rebels) in southwestern Bosnia and became a guerrilla chief.

Babić sought to aid his brethren across the border and had joined a volunteer detachment under the direct command of Stevan Knićanin.

After the fall of the Hungarian revolt, the Austrian Emperor decided to award the Serbs with an autonomous province called Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar (1849–60).

He raised people and planned a rebellion in Crni Potoci, between Drvar and Bosansko Grahovo, where he was elected the leader of the rebels in the area of southwestern Bosnia.

In order to unify the management of operations in his sector, he established the head office of the rebellion, the "Main Headship of the South Bosnian Uprising", as the central governing body.

The territory from Lika to Bjelaja (including Unac, modern Drvar) and from Dinara to Livno and Glamoč were liberated by the rebels.

[4] Among the enumerated leaders of West Bosnia were Golub Babić, Marinković, Simo Davidović, Pope Karan, and Trifko Amelić.

[4] Despotović had pleaded to the Serbian government that Babić was unfit and could not read nor write, and in Arthur John Evans's words was unjustifiably chosen for the leadership of the insurgents.

[5] Despotović had written to the Serbian government and claimed that he had taken Glamoč, Ključ, and other Ottoman strongholds, despite the fact that these were already in rebel possession.
