Miladin Popović (Serbian Cyrillic: Миладин Поповић; 23 September 1910 – 13 March 1945) was a Yugoslav Partisan and secretary of the Regional Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (OK KPJ) of Kosmet (Kosovo).

An active communist in Kosovo, he was arrested on 18 July 1941 near Rožaje, and sent to a concentration camp near Peqin in Albania.

[8] Sources disagree about the motives of Taha and Vula: while the Yugoslavian regime said that the two killers were motivated by anti-Serbian sentiments, communist Albania's version was that they were used as kamikaze by the Yugoslav secret police (UDBA), who wanted to eliminate Popović for his pro-Albanian sentiments.

"[9] In a party meeting of 1946 in Mitrovica, Kosovo, as a delegate of the Central Committee, he stated: "Albanians during the old Yugoslavia were oppressed, robbed economically, spiritually negated or even physically exterminated, and [you] don't need to wonder why they had eagerly welcomed the Germans, as they were for them the liberators from the former government".

[10] The Albanian side vaguely supported the Yugoslav version at the time regarding his assassination, but after the Yugoslav-Albanian split in 1948 they accused the OZNA of having set it all up.
