Radovan Jelašić (Serbian Cyrillic: Радован Јелашић; Hungarian: Jelasity Radován; born 19 February 1968) is a Hungarian-Serbian economist who served as the Governor of the National Bank of Serbia from 2004 to 2010.

In 1999 he moved to McKinsey & Company in Frankfurt, working on banking projects in Germany, Poland and Bulgaria.

The story was pursued throughout 2005 by the daily tabloid Kurir, which quoted various experts who appraised the estate's worth to at least €1.5 million.
