Jože Melaher - Zmagoslav (1913-1991) was Yugoslav military officer, most notable for being commander of Chetnik Štajerska detachment during the World War II.

[3] Before the World War II Melaher was active member of Slovenian Catholic youth organizations and Slovene People's Party.

[6] According to some estimates, Štajerska Chetnik detachment was the only anti-Communist military unit that consistently attacked Axis occupiers throughout the war.

[12] Melaher's Chetnik detachment received British supplies as airdrops until 1944 and published resistance newspaper Blood and Land (Slovene: Kri in zemlja).

In April 1945 Chetniks from Melahers Štajerska detachment were put under command of Ivan Prezelj and enlisted as part of the Slovenian People's Army.
